The issue of simulations has been brought up but there's really no good way to actually do so. They will run the numbers based on the current distribution but this tells us nothing about how the equilibrium shifts. Simulation in SMT doesn't give the same effect either. Maybe when AI is good enough we can have them mimic us :P
What have been discussed is exactly what you have noted, relative incentives. Many people have varying opinions on what is too much or too little but this particular configuration already appears to have growing support.
