Sounds like a good idea to me too. Also I am unsure if we ant to have this
running as silent for a long period of time. Yes, as experimental job its
hard to get a large enough data set, so we need to generate a larger data
set, but how big is big enough? Will running this job on silent for 1 week
be enough? 2 weeks?
