I wrote that batch 1 went 'straight to Ready with no New detour'. Wrong --
I aborted them to New myself to clear the enlistment-time wedge. Every
machine passes through New, either by self-settling there (batch 2 did,
before I could abort) or by an explicit abort.

The real distinction is whether the commission ISSUED FROM New succeeds on
the first try, and that is what power_type decides. The conclusion stands;
the phrasing overstated it.
