Pick a load between initial lower bound and initial upper bound, nominate it if it is (still) worth it. In a sense, this can be viewed as an extension of preceding target's bisect strategy. But as the current target may require a different trial duration, it is better to do it for the new target. Alternatively, this is a way to save one application of subsequent refine strategy, thus avoiding reducing risk of triggering an external search (slight time saver for highly unstable SUTs). Either way, minor time save is achieved by preceding target only needing to reach double of current target width. If the distance between initial bounds is already at or below current target width, the middle point is not nominated. The reasoning is that in this case external search is likely to get triggered by the subsequent refine strategies, so attaining a relevant bound here is not as likely to help.
