[r-t] Proportion of Surprise Methods

[Alexander Holroyd]

I don't really see the point of the distinction between TB, Delight and 
Surprise anyway.  It seems that we are stuck with it (in the near term) 
for historical reasons, but arguing about variant such classifications 
sounds like flogging a dead horse.

cheers, Ander
