Yeah, but consider that it was using 1 payment to “catch up” on 1 previous payment. If there had been 10 weeks with the old alpha, the adaptiveness would take a few more weeks to catch up.
Yeah, I considered going the other way (calculating the adaptive payment while not considering the fast payment–like running them in parallel rather than sequence). I felt this way was slightly conceptually cleaner.
Want to take a stab at this?
