A linear model would likrly fit the data just as good. At least throw on some bands indicating uncertainty in the fit.</text></comment>

I mean, BCP38 would be nice too, but not installing more chargen reflectors would be good enough for me.&lt;p&gt;[1] I wish I were joking, but this was verifiably the source of most of the volumetric DDoS I fought at my last job.</text></comment>
