Exactly right.  Basically, we’re calculating probabilities.  To get the 
probability of any one cut being selected, take its weight value and divide it 
by the sum of all weight values for the cart.

Where things can get Really Wonky because of the nature of the math is when 
dayparting is employed as part of the overall calculation.  Best in those 
situations to keep all the weight values the same, or schedule the cuts by 
Specified Order (new option in v2.12.0).

Cheers!
