Probably want to note why we might want to do 2 or 1 group here as it
sounds weird without knowing where this is going.

This is fine, but one comment on a possible tidy up for another day inline.

Again a comment for the future  rather than now, but when we are copying
4 items and then looking at whether to change 2 of them it might be cleaner
to just set them directly!  Touch of bit rot here :)
