right now, picking scores for sa-update rules is a bit of a "finger in the air"
thing -- not good.

We could use the perceptron, but I'm hesitant to do that every day or two.  in
particularly, I can see rules fluctuating back and forth due to chaotic effects;
those aren't a big problem once every N months, but every day -- not so good.
also I don't think it's yet possible to run it safely unattended.

Bob Menschel uses (I think) a freqs-based algorithm for SARE rules -- we should
adopt that (or something similar), I think.
