There has been a slight skewing downward overall, but from some manual checks that I've done against asset similarity (e.g. manually figuring out what cluster an unranked asset probably belongs to), it's reasonable. To put that another way, prioritized assets average a slightly higher rank than randomized assets, which is just what you'd expect. I haven't done any actual math to quantify the skew, but only because what I'm seeing seems reasonable. Jim,

Did it skew the results at all? Can you post some of your finding? Thanks, --j Hi Barney,

How did your test of seeding unranked items go? Did it skew the results at all?

Can you post some of your finding?

Thanks,
