I'm always glad to learn new things, but I'm not sure this is one of them.  To 
me, the logic _has_ to be that longer frequency wins, else a longer-frequency 
schedule would never win out--and this has always been the behavior that I've 
observed and relied upon.  But since I have never set up, say, a weekly full 
with a retention shorter than its "matching" daily diff, maybe it really works 
as you say, but I'll need to see it to believe it.

Any interest on ... oh, I dunno.. how about a bottle of single-malt Scotch to 
the winner?  ;-)
