Indeed, in realistic cases walking the tree beyond psd=y results in just a 
useless query.  I have shown an unrealistic case where not stopping at psd=y 
results in a wrong determination.

Would you please show an example, realistic or not, where not stopping for 
psd=y in step 2 leads to a useful result?
