Actually, I have done some thinking on combinatorial testing, and isn't 
this basically what we do with arraying systems? The trick is to run a 
massive library experiment in parallel on the cheap and a way to 
*select* the results so that we can figure out which ones are 
producing 'bad' effects and those that are producing 'good' effects.
