Explains why the Carballo cost model makes whirlwind a Bayesian
unwrapper: the posterior probability over the integer correction field
that the min-cost flow maximizes, the hierarchical Lee/slope/coherence
model with nuisance marginalization behind the p0/p1 tables, and how
this differs from SNAPHU's plug-in density costs (genuinely ML in the
smooth mode NISAR production runs). Includes the interferogram regimes
where the two formulations should diverge, plus honest caveats about
the clamp, unit-capacity linearization, and independence approximation.

Linked from the nav, index, ALGORITHM.md, and ATBD section 2.3.
