So the guy you mentioned on 14% goes to 34%, the guy on 49% goes to 69% and the guy on 51% stays on 51%. Yes, it helps two people who are in low on pop. But the one most in need is still most in need, and the middle one is now doing far better than one who was pretty much the same as him in the first place.
A pro rata bonus would be more equitable. It doesn't have to go as far as RattleHead suggested (ie no need to boost someone on 87.5%), but a pro rata mechanism would help the provs most in need.
