I won't insist on rejecting this one, but especially given this
sentence, this doesn't really pass the smell test for -stable
candidates. It's stuff like this that pushes me a bit toward the camp
of those who despise the ML-based selection methods here, even though
it occasionally (or even often) may produce some good.
