Is that distribution due to some physical maxima of stable design?  Would
looking outside those 143 shapes and leaving the top of the bell curve
reduce the likelihood of finding useful molecules?  Or is the idea that the
more rare molecules will be substantially more useful to make it worth the
effort?
