My mind is open and I think a lot of us here [lurkers included

] are trying to learn too, so please continue to share why you believe 0.5% or 1% is too high.
I think by now it's clear that the discussion will not converge to a consensus. I'm looking forward to when investors can specify their max bet percentage individually. Maybe the 1% people will end up with the lion's share of the profits over the long run. Maybe they'll go bust, leaving the .25% people the winners. Who knows? (We all know, we just disagree!)
I hope that dooglus will build in some kind of statistics so we can gain some insight from other people's experience. (Maybe the equivalent of creating a 1 BTC investment in each tier and reporting the balance once a day. I'd love to be able to load that kind of data into a spreadsheet.)
