Maybe instead of being hyper-technical on what is a relatively minor point that, it appears to me from the threads I've read, is inherent to teh game engine and can't much be adjusted regardless, why not make your own OOB to demonstrate a "superior" set of values, and shop it around.
I'd personally prefer to see the programmers, who are remarkably dedicated to the users and extremely busy, focused on other issues that seem to be a little grander in scheme (like the 60+ fixes they are releasing in the patch).
Just my thoughts.
