These small standard outputs aren't "change", but they are treated like change by the client due to a lack of other matches. Despite being assigned a weak score, these outputs are completely impossible to attribute to any specific input in practice.
I see. You just don't assign them a metric, because that'd be against the notion of being as rigorous as possible.

I received 5 same sized outputs from a single round, so the client divided the anon score gain of each of those outputs by 5. While this seems like "waste" from the calculator's perspective, the real world effective privacy gains of allowing this sort of amount skew is massive since analysts have to consider many subsets of possible compositions and decompositions.
Shouldn't the client give the user control over how many times it can divide an input? For example, one might not prefer to divide their 0.01 BTC into 5 worth of 200,000 sat each, because it's more expensive. And I did experience it as well, if you want some feedback; I felt as if I wouldn't know beforehand how much money would be spent on the transaction fee.



Is there any particular reason why taproot addresses are preferred over segwit? Isn't it less block space efficient?
