Because (P1 || P2) >= (P1 && P2) for all P1, P2.

I'm trying to reduce my FRR. I am aware that this does increase my FAR.

Yes, I do. Because P1 and P2 are maintained by independent entities (at

were added by mistake. I do assume that two independent entities won't
make the same mistake at the same time.

There seems to be some misunderstanding on your part about what policyd-
weight actually does.
