Newbie Q: Understanding activateIn

[Michael Whidden]

I'm a new user of Swarm trying to understand activateIn and
execution contexts.  I'm finding the documentation unclear,
and there is little help in the tutorials, since they all
repeat the mantra "Activate the model swarm in ourselves.
The model swarm is a subswarm of the observer swarm."

What has me more confused is that if I change
  [super activateIn: swarmContext];
  [modelSwarm activateIn: self];
to
  [super activateIn: swarmContext];
  [modelSwarm activateIn: swarmContext];
everything still seems to work the same.

I realize that this may seem a silly question to some, so
I'm happy to take this offline for discussion with one of
you, so as to save list bandwidth.  Thanks.
