I ran some sims to compare L1 and L2 distance. This is still using a uniform
distribution, and I'm still debugging, so these are very preliminary
results (and there are only 500 random trials so there's still a significant
error margin). But a funny thing happened when I did the L2 sims.

Anthony,
Some, but not all issues, are going to have the correlation you are
talking about. Given that there are two issues that are really just
facets of some third issue, we can just let that third issue be
one of the two dimensions in my model. But surely there will be
some fourth issue that do

I have more thoughts along these lines, but am late for class.

A couple of weeks ago I described my idea for "majority potential" as a better-calibrated
standard than SU for evaluating methods by way of simulation.
I've started writing a program to try out this concept. I'd like some suggestions on a few
things.
1. I have one statement that eliminates clones
