Exact matches and certainty are hard to come by in the real world, and your
proposed project involves some data collection from experiments.  On top of
that, there may be some variables not considered by the computer
simulations.  As a result, when you get a match or near match, what you'll
end up with is a probability that some hypothesis is true, not a guarantee.
 Computing or estimating the probabilities could be tricky.
