> These parameters decide whether someone should max out on consolidation or not, especially with linear staking. Bumping it down may not sound as easy as it seems if the majority of the network decides to consolidate to max. I believe there is less friction in being conservative and bumping it up - rather than convincing a load of maxed consolidated nodes that their rewards are going to be cut if we need to dial back.

Let me clarify… what I was trying to say is that if we dial back from exp=1.0 to only 0.9 or 0.8 that is not so drastic as to undermine a node-runner’s premise for staking to max consolidation possible. It ay be a nuisance to large-consolidators to see their avg reward go down slightly and redistributed to those who chose not to consolidate at all, but it is not enough to cause a second-guessing as to whether consolidating to max was the right choice. I agree with you when it comes to comparing exp 0.5 to 1.0 for example, but I view the 0.8 to 1.0 range (and especially the 0.9 to 1.0 range)to be pretty frictionless. Further, I think the whole premise of this edge case (high-latency node runners will consolidate to greater degree than low-latency node runners) to be pretty suspect and unlikely to materialize. Maxing out consolidation is the current goal. hence exp 1.0; setting exp to substantially less than 1.0 will not achieve the same degree of consolidation.
