I have no doubt that the systematic comparison of the desired and the actual gate structures, going from LSB to MSB, is a valid and comprehensive solution.

I’m not fully certain, though, that my Julia implementation is able to discover all sorts of discrepancies with the gates. In other words, that _when_ an anomaly is found, it is able to correctly figure out which wire is swapped with which. I _think_ it is able to do that, but I didn’t prove it, nor did I test it on other inputs, except my own.

Anyway, that’s all I have to say on the topic. Feel free to test my solution on your input, if you’d like.
