The math question is certainly one major reason why I went to 20% 
shortly after 15% was declared not-enough. I'm still not sure *who* 
determined 15% was not-enough, and exactly when that was, but in any 
case 20% is easier enough to figure out than 15%, even (for someone 
mathematically challenged such as myself) that I figure it pays for 
itself in not-having-to-do-mathness.
