Well, I thought I had a decent surface-level understanding of what the 
predictions would be in a particular case, without the ability to do the 
actual calculations.  Now I find out that my naive understanding of how to 
do the calculations is wrong, as I have no rule that says anything about two 
slits being more privileged than three slits.
