@Mick_Cook Had to look up ‘epigraph’. ‘Dead general quote’ seems more appropriate

@linzoconnor @RebeccaMarlow4 @jasmin_diab @DEF_Aus @Loulou6553 Totally support! The biggest issue is getting a large enough data set. Though a simple, transparent, optimising algorithm with a short feedback loop would work #latetotheparty
