On Anomalies

I was having a think about when the prediction made by Debatebreaker might be slightly inaccurate. I came up with the following list of reasons, which I will add to should I think of more.

N.B. These aren't problems with Debatebreaker. I'm highlighting these issues here because they are things that typically happen at tournaments that can render Debatebreaker slightly inaccurate. Debatebreaker works on mathematical certainty, so it can't account for these anomalies.. The day Artificial Intelligence becomes mainstream though.....
