Hi Peter

Obtaining the matches would only be a starting point for further 
checking, I am not expecting perfection and would always prefer 'real 
data', but where data is not existing or is expensive to gather there 
may be room for a synthetic approach.

>  Computing or estimating the probabilities could be tricky.

The modelling would have to be based on what we already know.

What I am suggesting does not synthesize 'answers' only large quantities 
of arbitrary sets of data, once a match is found, a human must interpret 
the data to establish the answers.
