This not stupid, of course. It may be wrong, though. There are many
different ways of "normalizing the new wights of the new grid so that
they sum to one". Some of them correct (within a given accuracy),
others plain wrong. It all depends on how you choose the weights and
on the specific integral you aim at approximating with a weighted sum.
Ever read a textbook on numerical integration? This and similar issues
are treated, I think, in many textbooks on numerical analysis. Please,
take a glance at one of them and then revert to us.
