In the diff http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Beckstrom's_law&diff=302414567&oldid=301874808 A sentence that was added in the new version is not shown: "It is, of course, so general as to be of no practical value whatsoever. Also it is blind to the notion of opportunity costs." I marked this as "major" as this sentence struck me as violating NPOV and I was attempting to track down its origin. It isn't clear that the addition of this violation can be attributed to the new version's editor. This represents a major failure in the Wikimedia function.
It's shown in the diff, at the latest added paragraph.
Thanks for catching that. Perhaps a feature request is appropriate here: Highlight added text to visually distinguish it from text that has gone unchanged.
The problem here is that a new paragraph was added before the modified one. In such cases the diff engine can't reliably figure out what is going on, while using something like Damerau-Levenshtein distance to find changed AND moved paragraphs would be way too slow.
