I'd assume that's just an optimization? Why bother sorting the entire list if you're just gonna pick the top token, linear time versus whatever your sort time is.

Having said that, of course it's only as deterministic as the hardware itself is.

The likelihood that top-two is close enough to be hardware dependent is pretty low. IIUC It's more of an issue when you are using other picking methods.
