📝 Original message:
By giving a high confidence to HTLCs you increase the chance that they are
relayed which should be your goal. Having a high reputation is not a goal
in itself, it's just a way to make your HTLCs more likely to be relayed. If
you always report confidence 0, then yes you will have a reputation of 1
but your HTLCs will still be rejected at the first sign of congestion.
