"""The classifier, measured against the labelled catalogue — and attacked.
`test_response_matrix` samples benign and hostile cases alike. The E-003 group
below does something different: it *tries to make the framework unsafe*. An
experiment that only samples cases chosen by the same person who wrote the
implementation cannot establish a safety property.
