yeah, maybe I was a bit harsh, but the thing is that as you can see from he math above it's just strange.


if N is the number of people you follow, who follow person X

and n is the number of people you follow, who muted person X

Then why not just 
WoT = N - n

now you are using 

WoT = N - n ^ (1/log2(e))

which is just strange. There is no good reason behind it.
