Hi, in the paper about near miss (https://www.site.uottawa.ca/~nat/Workshop2003/jzhang.pdf), a 4th variation is described, called "distant". The documentation of near miss 3, reads as if the original near miss 3 variation is merged with the 4th "distant" variation, perhaps because the writing of the original paper was not clear enough. The 4th variation was presented in the flow of near miss 3.
