That concern will be addressed by the same procedure I proposed.  You
can look at that 1% (or 5% or 10% or whatever) and decide then whether
it's worth to avoid giving it up.  But to make that decision you need
to know what is and what isn't needed, there's no way around that for
an intelligent decision.
