>This is critical information that must be disclosed so witnesses can make a reasoned decision...

Yes, exactly. Unfortunately, I’m not confident that they will actually provide these stats and I’m not confident that most witnesses will even understand the numbers/reasoning involved in setting their parameters...or even care in the first place. Kind of like the current set of parameters that are not understood or rarely set/adjusted. 

>There's enough evidence to prove that crypto investors love token burns and despise concentrated centralised stake.

Indeed. And there’s also evidence that crypto speculators and investors despise concentrated stake that is then dumped on the market, even when demand is light and prices are down...which is what Steemit, Inc. has done instead of burning what they don’t need for account creation, marketing, and development. So not only do they refuse to do what is largely accepted as “good,” but they continue to do the exact opposite, despite the concerns of their actual investors and fellow stakeholders who bought into their project and made them rich, setting aside their misgivings about how the project was launched. 

At no point have I seen this “leadership” do the right thing. I don’t expect to see them start. I *do* however expect some kind of cooperation from them on providing statistics. It’s the least they could do for continually going back on their word and making this place unattractive to the wider crypto and social media markets. 

Even with all that being said...the blockchain is still one of the best. It’s a shame to see it being wasted and tarnished by extremely poor “leadership.”
