Research direction

Start with docs/concepts/pools/weighted.md at the exposure-control section and review the existing statement that 80/20 is the best ratio. Done means adding mathematical explanation of the tradeoffs, comparing 80/20 with 70/30 and 90/10, and including an external reference if appropriate.

Description

enhancement

In the weighted pools it states that 80/20 is the best ration but no explanation why is given. I'd love to see some math and external sources. It is not clear what are exactly the tradeoffs in the 80/20 pools and how they relate to pools likes 70/30 and 90/10. Providing an external reference to the explanation would also work.)
