would in fact be quite hard to describe as a MUG. Because, if we end up here, candidate 1 is automatically eliminated from the 147 cells and we are left with

17 17

= a standard BUG-lite.
Right or wrong, it's never been too hard for me to describe this as a MUG:
- There's precedence for doing so in usage by players considerably smarter than me;
- All MUGs reduce to BUG-Lites in the end, anyway;
- And here's a rash and probably over-simplified statement
If it's all bivalues, it's a BUG-Lite, and
if any group has more than 2 candidates, it's a MUG.
