Well, the users would not be exposed to the math, so they would not have to know anything about it. It is just a (not so big) one-time effort for the site developers to sort the variants mentioned on this page by a different criterion. Perhaps I should just make a clone of this page, and modify it to use the weighted sorting.

The criteria that the presentation should be in perfect shape are currently counterproductive, but only because we are extremely tardy in selecting a variant. People can propose or second all they like, it will be completely ignored until the last day of the month, and then all proposals will be dismissed because they are not sufficiently represented on this website, and something else will be chosen. If we would pick a variant, say, 1 month in advance, there would be time to fix the layout, include Interactive Diagrams, create a GC preset, etc. That way it would lead to perpetual improvement of the website.
