Well, that is my attempt!!! Hopefully I am not wrong and confuse everyone even more
I applaud your effort but believe your analogy would be a lot better had you considered 5 jars.
I am not sure I am right at all, but I think that having 5 jars would not help since my understanding is that it is one jar that has a size of 5 times the current diff. Hopefully we can get one of the long term miners to weigh in on this cookie fiasco sometime.
