You’re changing the subject! There is a really good problem in there.

Why does this stuff work so well, for what classes of problems, and can we say anything about the fundamental energy/accuracy limits of this approach?

I think of it as an engineering problem, but there are mathematical rephrasings of this problem, as Michel Talagrand’s work has shown.

Don’t let the greed/stampede obscure the very interesting technical principles here.
