I agree, this wasn’t very clear. I’ll add a few words.
It also surprised me! It’s so slow to run that I wasn’t able to experiment with it a lot, but it’s definitely interesting that it performs so well. Also, earlier experiments showed that RLACE isn’t very consistent and running it multiple times yielded different results (while CDE is much more consistent), so what’s happening at layer 7 might be a fluke, RLACE getting unlucky. I’ll de-emphasize the “CDE outperforming RLACE” claims.
