I don't understand why this experiment is being conducted. The source code of Steemit is open for everyone to see. We all KNOW what happens when all whales decide to stop voting. Why do we need an experiment to find out about something we already know?

Well, the votes of minnows and dolphins count more. Surprise! ;-)

That is true. There are other factors to consider too though - the price of STEEM, user engagement, curation rewards for dolphins/minnows. If anything, the experiment should be fun for the 'little people' once the drama over all the downvotes settles.
