I completely agree; however, even discussing "earlier takes precedence"
entails that you are somehow pulling from an untrusted source. I just
wanted to point out that "earlier" does not always mean "more trusted
than the thing you're pulling now" (since it might have just been pulled
earlier, not created or verified by you).
