First clause for the maybe_pick_one/2 predicate seems redundant

maybe_pick_one([], _) :- !, fail.

If the predicate is called with the first argument being an empty list, the call will fail without requiring the first clause as the other two clauses unify the first argument with a non-empty list.

Hmm... may be vestigial from debug, or I could just be an evil person who puts extra clauses in.

I tend to write expressively and then bodge when I have to for performance.
