The algorithm had two details that maybe we could make configurable:

  1. If the user's quality answer is <3, restart the OF-Matrix all
     over again, but using the current E-Factor.

  2. If the user's quality answer is >3, stop the repetition cycle.

We could make these numbers be min and max, and configurable, so that  
you could either always repeat, or only restart the OF-Matrix if it's  
below a lower number.
