My assumption is that the sets are disjoint yes. I'm not completely sure 
of the process either, but figured that as long as the sets are 
disjoint, it will be fine. Also, if they are not, we have a problem 
regardless imo.

I do agree I might have gone a bit too wild with the pattern targets in 
this case though.
