 Alright, I tried this out, and it produced the exact same result. I'd say
 let's change this. Please review my [https://gitweb.torproject.org/karsten
 /metrics-
 web.git/commit/?h=task-21588&id=13cbceaab6f337d1f3ee135d7352a0a3f55d4016
 commit 13cbcea in my task-21588 branch].

 (Deploying this change will be trivial, as the censorship detector
 recomputes new lower/upper bounds for the entire data set every time it
 runs.)
