More often than not, one side will be bigger than the other.  That is all the
process requires.

The way you're doing it, you should at the very least make your factor a random
amount.

From the page where I got the idea, it looks like he may be using a constant
value but randomly choosing whether to shrink or expand.

still, I think the process will work as I've stated.
