These is why committees best have an odd number of members.  Trying
to decide which of two clocks is 'better' is hard.  Flip a coin?

Best thing is to NOT fudge your GPS to be close.  Then other remote
time sources will help vote it out.

Some suggest setting the GPS fudge to be 10 ms off of PPS.  For similar
reasons.

You can set the GPS to "noselect", but then you lose it as a fall back
if all other sources fail.
