I want to thank null_void for explaining this. It is truly a rare event when a Dev is willing to explain the internal mechanics of the game. Especially in cases like this where the ramifications are significant.
Hopefully the community can accept these facts and move on without having to rage over it.
PS - Feel free to throw some plat my way because I wasted several elixirs and several hundred pots compiling all this data :-P
