He didn't even do a good job prior to the "corrections."  His
randomization code yields columns in a box, not a cylinder.  I haven't
bothered to correct that.

I'm only tweaking this library because it was already there.  I'm not
going to try to overhaul this thing; to get some comprehensive
improvement, I think it would be better to start a new library from
scratch (which you already seem to be doing).

Does atmospheric pressure figure into this?  Should we pretend that
there’s an additional 14.7 psi worth of liquid on top?  Or does that
cancel out somehow?

For a carbonated beverage, that's not the whole story.  The bubble
absorbs additional CO2 as it rises, which is why my default is greater
than 1/3.
