Still going through my check of "what went wrong" and one thing I've already discovered is the pure unadulterated math is smarter than me.
The pure math, with 0 adjustments (such as upping ford's vote in his riding, or increasing the liberal vote in the few ridings they could have won) had 16 errors.
