I think the more relevant question is why anyone would think it could
work.   I was certainly hoping for some kind of emergent behavior, where
little bits of plausible data would reinforce one another, leading to
a stronger evaluator.   No doubt there are domains where this works,
but I didn't see any here.

Mostly, hill climbing with some random perturbation and hand tuning;
comparing the current set of parameters to the previous.  It's very 
easy to get the illusion of progress unless you train on one set of
data, then evaluate your progress on different data set.
