That's not the issue I was trying to bring up. The problem is that set and reset on most FFs are asynchronous. You have to look at the fine print in the data sheet to see what happens if they overlap. Consider the 74x74 that I looked at. It has true and compliment output pins. If set and reset are both active, both outputs go high. So if the reset signal comes first, you might expect the FF to get turned off, but with that chip, the FF will be high. (A few FFs have synchronous set and reset, but since there was no mention of a clock, I assume we are talking about asynchronous inputs.) -- These are my opinions.
