My point in all of this was to develop an approach to aid the program in improving its predictor model and hopefully produce more longshot winners, which I realize is a a mighty big task.

Hi Joe,
I am not sure anything Jim does can be considered linear! lol. he is kind of in a very different dimension.
If Energy takes the matchup into non linear areas( I really dont know what that is) then what better food to "feed it" than the TRUE matchup?
Fastest early
fastest early presser
fastest presser
fastest sustained
Kinda makes sense that this procedure is the true matchup.
PLUS NOBODY is doing this. always an added benefit just like " looking left" when the "crowd" is "looking right"
anyway that's all I can offer here as feedback.
great thread Joe!
