OK. And it could serve as a basis for further variations:

* introduce some feature (e.g., ranges), measure impact
* measure impact of multiple features alone and in combination

Of course, trivial changes would unlikely yield anything useful, 
but I believe there is a way to produce valuable data in a 
controlled research.
