People often make the mistake of using "crossstream" (inferences from a population of sequencess of a given length, sometimes called "weak") computations to model "downstream" (inferences along a given sequence, sometimes called "strong") computations.

I knew I was getting in over my head.

Couple of off-the-wall observations here.

1) Why does this bring the word "ergodic" to mind?
(look it up on www.m-w.com...)

2) This also seems like the way I have been told some
drug companies and others investigate the effects
of chemical additives on organisms--overdosing
on a given chemical all at once to simulate
cumulative, long-term exposure.

Cheers!
