# --- The Cold Start Failure ---
# Trying to get 'known' data from an undefined evaluation scheme
# This triggers the 'object not found' error because the user is new!

# results <- getData(e, "known") 

# ERROR: object 'e' not found
# Analysis: The system cannot evaluate a user who isn't part of the 
# training/testing sets yet.
