 > My current intuition is that sbws is somehow not giving relays higher
 weights than they currently have in the consensus -- that is, if a relay
 has a tiny number in the consensus, then with sbws it is doomed to stay
 tiny, whereas with torflow it will get a much bigger number if it performs
 well compared to its other tiny peers. This intuition is not based on
 investigating the code or the design though. :)

 This intuition is correct, see #33871
