However, my previously unqualified “random sampling” wasn't the whole picture. “Quasi-random" for starters, but seeded with error/convergence tracking too. Repeatable results and unbiased sampling should be a requirement upheld with whatever approach is taken. That’s in part why I said it’d probably take a couple weeks. ;) Cheers! Sean
