finding:das-runs-in-502-seconds-for-hierarchical-equality-vs-estimated-6e8-seconds-for-exhaustive-brute-force-searchDAS runs in 502 seconds for hierarchical equality vs. estimated 6e8 seconds for exhaustive brute-force search
DAS runtime is invariant with number of testing hypotheses, unlike brute-force search.
