The foregoing discussion is much to mathematical for my attention
span to handle in detail.  But a thought occurs to me:

If one were to select Two Methods of generating points, each of which
happened to concentrate the generated points in the region the
other left sparse, would that not be "good enough" for the
application?  (Time vs code vs point density tradeoffs)

I know this is not pure, so once again I apologize.

(I'm sorry, I'm feeling particularly smarmy today 8-)
