Changing summary, the problem is that harder to defeat tests should have
higher weights than easy-to-defeat ones.

Harder to defeat:

 - learning tests (local control)
 - user configuration tests (local control)
 - network tests (remote maintenance)
 - nice tests (via design)

I realize Henry is working on this, but perhaps we could get a shorter-term
improvement in place sooner.

Assigning to 3.1.0 for now since this is accuracy-related.  Any fixes should
also be considered for 3.0.x.
