🗒️ Summary of this message: Giving high confidence to HTLCs increases the chance of relaying, while having a high reputation is just a means to that end. Reporting confidence 0 may lead to a reputation of 1, but HTLCs may still be rejected during congestion.
📝 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.
