Thanks Eppidiah for your concerns.

The above note was not intended to "encourage" this art, but to prevent selection bias. It became clear to my trained eye, that many reports actually arose from unackowledged multifusion, precisely because they report the most recent and exciting dino - far beyond the chances for this to happen.

I have not given up on a complete model for fusion  probabilities, and am only seeking to prevent this selection bias which is very clear in the data. We all agree that the details for how this method works should not appear on these pages, but we still have the goal of cracking the multifusion probabilities. Since many fusions are clearly the result of "targeted fusion", those reporters really should include all the partial results to avoid selection bias. That's just simple data collection principles.
