I wonder how the introduction of random steps, a bit of noise, into
the other heuristics of the strong heuristic agents would affect their
aggregate performance. I wonder if this was considered. My intuition
is that putting some noise into the search process (especially in a
simulated annealing sort of way) would be a big improvement.
