Not yet, but the database is pretty small so far. It's not out of the question that if the database expands, useful information may be gained. For instance, if we were to learn that a car with a one minute garbage bag started fine at 10 below zero and a car with a 3 minute garbage bag didn't or vice versa, that might be helpful data. Or, if the database developed to the point of a clear correlation between bag speeds and compression readings that data could also be useful. Whether data is useful or not cannot be definitively determined in advance.
