Although they only differ by 2% (90% simple vs 92% relaxed), such
percentages would be superb for tools like Spamassassin. I'd expect
at least 99% from a cryptographic tool.
This tells me that the benefit from relaxed is at most pretty small.
OTOH, comparing the "count" fields of those two lines, 86% relaxed vs
14% simple, says that such kind of benefit is really really wanted.
But that's a perceived benefit, not an actual one.
Folk think they need "relaxed" to significantly increase survivability
but that's not the case given the stats above. So yo may be right that
folk really really want it, but they don't really really need it.
Mark.
