No one is claiming that given any set of models there is a guarantee of
zero correlation between them.  I never made any such claim.

But, the point I _am_ making is that multi-modeling facilitates the
exploration and finding of things one didn't consider to begin with...
a.k.a. looking in places other than just under the street light.

As multi-modeling methodology matures, adding extra constraints for
model construction will be natural and expected.
