Hi Sean,

I checked the recoding and it is done correctly. I think your confusion stems from two reasons, though:
1) m66 is created not only from q437, but also from q438.
2) there is an additional skip in 441 that skips those saying yes in q437 to q446.
The result of this latter skip is that those saying either "yes" or "no" on q437 both ultimately skip to q446, which means that all of those saying "no" on q436 skip over q442 to q446. Thus you should find all cases code "no" on q436 (m62) are skipped (missing) on q442 (m70).
