@paulg The fact that "10 turns out to be about right" is probably an artifact of using base 10.
@armillspaugh I thought about that first, but I'm pretty sure it isn't simply that.

@paulg@armillspaugh More likely we structured the operator on 10 to match data rather than the number 10; could've been e^10, 10^10, etcThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@paulg@armillspaugh If we had base 2, we would probably have used 8... Which is also "about right".Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
