The original definition is:

P tables can be “misleading” when rule contains hyphen input entry (“irrelevant”) and output is not lowest priority

as in the following example:

which was implemented with DROOLS-3785.

Further refinements checked to avoid duplicating "Misleading rule" reports when in fact the rules were already reported as "Masked", with: DROOLS-5368

However, a table such as the below would inadvertently still report misleading rules:

So the new definition is refined to:

P tables can be “misleading” when:

• rule contains hyphen input entry (“irrelevant”)
• and output is not lowest priority
• the hyphen in the misleading rule, correspond to a value (not an hyphen) in the mislead('d) rule
