I have updated my diagrams of the two triangles to not show their Symmendian points, labeled "K" in each diagram. These points are also within the 0.0130 contour of John Karl's probability diagram (and may actually be his "+" mark)so is an equally valid point to take as the fix. ("A" is the Steiner point; "B" is the centroid determined by medians; "C" is determined by the bisectors of the angles. the same as bisecting the azimuths.)
