::Also, maybe a note should be made at the top of the page explicitly instructing people to ignore the variable names because they are meaningless. The formula is only confusing if you read the page thinking that "variables named base should do X and variables named mult should do Y." The names themselves have no bearing on their use in the formula. It is the formula itself that dictates how variables are used.

:::Actually, ALL of the variables follow the base+mult archetype, (as can be seen in the way I set up the [[User:Quetzilla/Spread_Formula_Test|mockup for which the new formatting is somewhat based on]]) it's just that BGS took some leeway with what kind of related value affects the Mult.
:::The Base+Mult set up is very simple, and the purpose is to allow the devs to influence the affect of any particular variable on a result by changing the values of the base vs the mult.  It's no mistake that in every factor/penalty in the formula, there is a set of values which results in the base+(mult*value) equaling 0 or 1 (depending on how the value is meant to affect the formula).
