The comment above it in the file

Diarchy swing can be good or bad for you depending on whether you're the liege, the diarch, or neutral, so we need different tooltips accordingly.
Please note: for technical reasons this'll break if you don't use the pre-set script values or update it to include whatever new value you want to use.
