My quibble is that unknotting number (hence the result) is an much about the crossing change move (as opposed to some other local move, e.g. the delta move or the pass move) as it is about the diagram- one might not necessarily expect "more alternating" to be "better" with respect to a specific (family of) local move(s), so this is an excellent point.
