First, the intent of your suggestion is clear if people use context. Not sure why anyone is hung up the semantics of you using 'right way' in your comments. It's silly, you were clear.
That being said, I don't agree that this is really a problem. Some ways will always be more efficient, though I wouldn't be against a smaller price for merits I guess, but closer to 100k. It would give them more influence without doing much to the current converter market, which I think is pretty good as is.
In the end, more influence in the system will mean higher prices to some extent, which has the potential of being a very bad thing depending on how it plays out. It would definitely lead to many of us having more, though I'm not sure that really matters in the end.
