I was thinking a bit about edge pair restrictions, and I discovered that I had missed something they could do. (and as a result, my solver cannot take advantage of this...)



In this puzzle, some advanced use of edge pair restrictions allows for static proof of two lines meeting at the 0, without a trial.
However, this scenario seems hideously contrived, and I am wondering whether anyone uses this kind of analysis regularly during solving of puzzles?

a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h=4
b+c<=1
d+e<=1
f+g<=1
therefore a+h>=1

replace 0 by 3 gives another example.
I used this technique to due with the 3-2-...-2-3 pattern.
