I've tried and it really doesn't matter...
I get the same result.
And that result will presumably be meaningless, as a statement like
if shift == 1
will ever only reference the FIRST observation of the variable shift.
Given what you have outlined as the logic, I cannot imagine that this
could be useful. Please see my proposed solution.
