It should be noted that a switch opening will never imply a decrease in total loss, because an additional constraint on flow distribution is imposed through the switch opening (and there cannot be a better solution with an additional constraint).

Writer’s text:

In [20], it is assumed that the meshed network generates the least possible losses, which may not be always true as shown in this paper.

Writer’s comment:

This first sentence I needed to take it out of this because it’s something that is not really true and I needed to be careful when I am trying to quote it
