I was playing with RDKIT the other day, and it wasn’t obvious how to get a 
scalar quantity of plausibility of a molecule.   It seems a SMILES string is 
right or wrong, and then maybe there are some warnings that can be trapped.   
However, the benefits for search or fair sampling are different than the needs 
of correctness checks, which is deeper property.   That isn’t quite a fit to 
the music example where aesthetic considerations are subjective.

"I mean from the perspective of aesthetics. Understanding why Pandora is 
messing it up means sampling the deep wells."

Yes, but not more than one has to. This is why I am advocating for methods like 
a weighted ensemble. The working analogy for me comes from drug discovery. It 
doesn't make a lot of sense to probe the same old sites and the same old 
conformations.
