It doesn't need to be in the list.  Autolearn acts on the non-Bayes 
score sets.

Remember, scores sets are:
0 - no bayes, no network
1 - no bayes, network
2 - bayes, no network
3 - bayes, network

This does mean that the score used for autolearn isn't quite the same as 
just taking the "real" score and subtracting/adding the bayes score.
