It's all counterfactuals. It's easy enough to run the curves (and the post says they will release an API explicitly for that purpose), but the whole point of the EIP is to change up the incentives enough that some behavioral changes result. Calculating the new curves on the old behavior is only a starting place.
I'm in favor of the SPS but not the EIP. I wish they could be separated out instead of having to accept or reject the whole package.
I think the EIP makes too many assumptions about positive behavioral outcomes, without having enough checks in place for negative behavioral outcomes.
My only hope is that big whales that came out in favor of it... behave in a way that proves that the changes were good.

Yes, I state that in my comment as well - I'm currently very skeptic about how big of a shift in behaviour we'll see, so in my 'uninformed' mind this 'starting place' might in the end prove to be pretty much reality for 95% of the platform anyway :') (Fake LOL, in reality I'm crying here.)
:') Oh, the joy!
I give "New Traf" a week. Look, you already have all the information you need to know if he is trustworthy, cares about content and is interested in the success of the community.
What more is there to know.
While I do hope I am wrong and these changes bring awesome changes. It is still too much for one hardfork.
Those guys...
They've had months to change their ways to offer proof and say, "SEE! This is how it could work!" All talk, no action.
@kevinwong! I'm looking at you, boy! You better be right or I'll be shoving my fist up your ass!
Ha!
On the bright side, they've extracted so much SP from this place, we're going to be loving those votes they promised, @whatsup.
