Well, I did scan the thread to see if this had been discussed, and I
overlooked that message.  But there was no reply to that message, so
it's not clear whether this was just Robert's opinion or consensus; in

I think one person casting an opinion on one aspect does not set that
aspect in stone.

A few seconds later it's at 90%, but it seems to have stuck there.  Did
somebody make percentages logarithmic while I wasn't looking?"
