Writing the talk prompted a bunch of ideas, one of which is having a “water quality” metric, which
gives some indication of whether a dist is a good one to rely on (needs a better name).

Turbidity is the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid caused by large
numbers of individual particles that are generally invisible to the
naked eye, similar to smoke in air. The measurement of turbidity is a
key test of water quality.
Maybe someone can riff on that, or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_quality
