So, in summary, here's how K-Means seems to stack up against out

desiderata:
175-
- **Don't be wrong!**: K-means is going to throw points
176-
into clusters whether they belong or not; it also assumes your clusters
177-
are globular. K-Means scores very poorly on this point.
178-
- **Intuitive parameters**: If you have a good intuition for how many clusters the
179-
dataset your exploring has then great, otherwise you might have a
180-
problem.

- **Stability**: Hopefully the clustering is stable for your
182-
data. Best to have many runs and check though.

- **Performance**: This is K-Means big win. It's a simple algorithm and with the right tricks
184-
and optimizations can be made exceptionally efficient. There are few
185-
algorithms that can compete with K-Means for performance. If you have
186-
truly huge data then K-Means might be your only option.
