Thanks for this....I think.
I used to be good at math, but this is a bit tough to digest. It is difficult to determine what the final effect (desired or otherwise) of the HF21 proposal will be. Maybe a certain level of obfuscation is the point?

Maybe the graphs in this post help.
I feel that if it wasn't for the math being somewhat obfuscating to many, none of these convergent linear curves would even be on the table.
Obfuscation is not a point that sells to me, though I've heard it used as a justification for a functional voting system. Nobody knows how the equilibrium will shift at the end of the day, but one knows what behaviors will be rewarded more and what will be penalized less. As long as people agree those directions are good (or have acceptabe tradeoffs), I'd say it's the right direction. There is a danger of overcorrection and mixed signalling from the outcome, but that's what additional corrections are for.
Also. Wolfram Alpha is really wonderful for not having to be good at certain manipulations, math-wise :)
