In Tom Thomas' Cisco Press book 'OSPF Network Solutions Design Guide' is
says exactly the opposite!! IE: a type 2 route is always preferred to a
type one route to the same destination. Type 1 routes are those which have
their costs incremented as they cross the network. I would hazzard a guess
that on that basis alone they would be preferred due to the likelyhood of
them reflecting more accurate costs.
