There was an intermittent post from bearfoil that seems to have disappeared. There were some important points about how Anomalous Design works. I just wanted to add that in the scenario I envisioned apropos discrepant pitot heat, the probes would still be triple redundant in non-icing environment. In an icing environment, however, they would "switch" to the so called anomalous design mode. I call it switch, but this would of course be completely passive on account of the fact that the heat is applied uniformly through out the entire flight.
This is way outside my areas of expertise, and I may be completely misunderstanding the concept of redundancy, so this post is purely for my own edification.
