The "flag whale-votes" experiment/ruleset only showed that the power to allocate rewards on the platform is based on having the most SP (a serious design flaw and the reason most people left in July). If you have a lot of SP, and you vote everyday, you decide how the majority of rewards get allocated, while most other votes give a few cents. There is still the concentration of power in the system, and this experiment doesn't address abusive flaggers. It's not a real solution to the concentration of power on Steemit.

You forgot to address what the experiment was about, it wasn't about seeing what we already know about less whales voting, it was the reaction in the community to their votes counting exponentially more. It's disingenuous and seeking to negate the efforts in that direction, it was about engagement, user retention and I think that in lieu of the flatter reward curve being removed it was an apt measure to show a glimmer of what it would look with a less concentration of power.
