I'm not trying to be smart arsed. There are often more complexities to
these things than users realize, that's all.

it would make no difference: there are still two connections that are
involved in forming the fhe loop, and they both have levels associated with
them. i can see no reason or method for ardour to identify one of them as
the one that "creates" the loop other than order of creation. this is not
possible to determine when loading the session, so if you had readjusted
the -inf level to some other value, ardour has no way of understanding what
to do at session load time.
