Machine Doubling is more of an error introduced by the machinery. A "double" die is a variety because it happens during the actual striking process and the mintmnaster has OK'd the process of modifying the hub or the die. MD does not involve any modifications to the die or hub ... all you have to do to eliminate it is to tighten the screws or keepers that hold the die in place.
