Dec 17, 2016 at 17:57	comment	added	David Handelman		Randomly chosen matrices will almost certainly be diagonalizable---because having distinct eigenvalues is generic. So testing with samples won't reveal much.
Dec 17, 2016 at 17:56	comment	added	Yemon Choi		Generically all matrices are diagonalizable, so I am not convinced that testing with random matrices tells us much...
