That's called a 'bootstrapped' SPR. It's one way of building an SPR. And yes, in many cases the SPR ends up being reliably better than the expert judgments that were used to build it.

I was wondering more how much better it is than a normal SPR. Also, I wonder what weight it would give to the expert.
