We previously only prevented underreporting from working. But since we can know some clients are underreporting, many by a factor of +Infinity, why not punish them?
The new change does just that. It divides the anti-leech score by the estimated under-reporting ratio. Of course we never estimate +Infinity because we do +1 on the divisor. Very light float32 math is used.
The comments are updated to explain the ways in which our solution differs from Chow et. al.
