I think it's because tbdiff uses the hungarian Python module, which implements the Hungarian method, also known as the Kuhn-Munkres algorithm, for solving the linear assignment problem. This is the Jonker-Volgenant algorithm, which solves the same problem. It's faster, but less tolerant. At least this is what I just learned after about ten minutes of searching. -- brian m. carlson: Houston, Texas, US OpenPGP: https://keybase.io/bk2204
