To clarify, if both episodes have a program ID, that is used as the 
definitive answer of whether they are the same episode and the chosen 
duplicate matching method is ignored.  There is no such thing as 
"programids don't provide sufficient info," only "program ID does not 
exist on one or the other or both episodes."
