I suppose this is a rather philosophical question.
At least I am not aware of any established method
for answering the question whether a single piece
of evidence should be taken into account or discarded.

I would tend towards the latter (discard). My argument
would be that if a soil horizon occurs only in a
single sample, then either:
(a) the sampling strategy was flawed (perhaps the
spacing between sampling points was too wide) or
(b) there was a problem with interpreting the samples.

If you decide to discard singular evidence, then
your module should display an appropriate warning.

Best,

This week I worked on the voxel assignment operator for my module.  I
also explored the possibility of using a priori assigned anisotropy
with a kernal operator to populate the voxel space.One concern that I
am not sure how to manage yet are horizon instances that are only
identified in a single sample. Next week I will continue working on
these same areas.
