licit low-strength SimilarityLinks in the system in these cases, is obviously much cheaper than using them for all cases. We've been talking about SimilarityLinks, but the approach is more broadly applicable. Any symmetric link type can be dealt with about the same way. For instance, it might be useful to kee
