I wonder if this example would work better if you used asymmetric
information rather than symmetric mutual information, as I suggested
before, though...

The problem with symmetric MI is: "a" is strongly attracted to "test",
but "test" is not strongly attracted to "a"

Whereas both "is" and "a" are strongly attracted to each other

So I sorta suspect that if you used asymmetric information here, and
then found the msdag rather than the mstree, you would get this (and
other similar) examples right even without a huge corpus...
