Very interesting and logical approach; makes sense.  When it comes to removing pawns, do you remove the pawn from only the other side too, for some tests to see that the pawn discrepancy sways the percentage by the same amount on both sides?  That is to say, some pawns' absence might actually lead to an advantagous opening, etc. which would not have anything to do with a "loss of pawn" in terms of material counting, right?
