CDFs are a good way to show effectiveness, but I don't know how else
to visualize it.

By all means! We're planning to have another review session in
#freenet either Friday May 25th shortly after 3:15 BST or sometime
Saturday, depending on when toad_ has time. You and any others are
very welcome to join the discussion!
