I really like the "deliberate overfitting of stories to make them behave like rules" approach. It's the kind of thing that sounds obvious as soon as you say it, but only comes from deep immersion in the problem space.

I'm thinking of lots of other places I can use it too now - is there a name for this approach yet?

Thanks Nick. No name yet, do you have a suggestion? Uberfitting? :)
It's called case-based reasoning (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case-based_reasoning).
GVEEOM - Generalization Via Expanding and Ensembling Overfit Models?

Can't say I love it though.
