[tor-talk] Why some optional weights of router bandwidths are set to 10000?

As we know, some weight params are applied to router bandwidths during path
selection. In the process of computing node weight, I find the the
consensus' "bwweightscale" param and the exit position related
params(eg.Weg,Wem,Wee,Wed) are all set to '10000', which results in every
node has the same weight value of 1. That means node's flag, such as
'Exit','Guard','V2dir', doesn't have effect on choosing the exit node.So I
want to ask what's the reason of the design like this?
