Otherwise, our `test` set will lead to both epistemic and aleatoric uncertainty.

the training set images allow for more unbalanced ambiguity.

This is to make the training set more closely connected to the nominal data, while still keeping the test set clearly ambiguous.

In related literature, such 'mixed' splits are sometimes denoted as *dirty* splits.
