You are not going to get an official response (I guarantee it), so I gave you the information you needed too find out the answer yourself. If you want to keep hoping, by all means, but I"m being realistic. You are overthinking something that most likely is not as complex as you are suggesting, and you're implying another Treasure Hunter conspiracy that most likely does not exist.

I do not believe there is any hidden modifier (or even a random factor) to the rate at which TH procs apply. There is no research or evidence out there to suggest that this is the case, so if you think that it is, the burden is on you to find that out, because SE is most definitely not going to tell you. That's just the reality of the situation.

You want answers, but even though you have the ability to find the answers yourself, you're not willing to put in the work to do it.
If the modifiers in question cause a non-linear change in TH proc rate, then the test you are suggesting is a complete waste of time. It's not "complex", it's a common practice to select multiple distribution tables in MMO games, so you're suggesting a testing method that has a high likelihood to be a waste of time.

I've waited 10 years for SE to answer this question, so I'll just keep waiting.
