If the request or defaultAuthenticationMethods property doesn't specifically express a requirement, then the result of any given request will be legally anything from the set contained in the result, and generally that's going to be pretty arbitrary. There's a "weight map" feature inside general-authn.xml that teaches the system to favor some values over others in an arbitrary comparison to work around that.
