It would have, yes, if the metagame hadn't shifted. The increase in salvage for small planets that was implemented a few rounds ago has made its way into strategies. As a result, going Feud/FC pays off twofold. On the one hand the increase in income from FCs works multiplicative with Feud, and on the other, Feud benefits more from salvage than other governments. The salvage aspect might not seem significant, but in an action-packed round such as this one, it really is.
To be quite honest, I don't think there's anything you can do to improve disting, it will always be a fringe strategy, because the increase in value you get from Feud/FCs is so big that the lack of incoming of disting doesn't really compensate any more.

By uncertainty you mean a 10% (or whatever the value is) deviance on values?

Yes. I figured one of the advantages of having a real scanner in your alliance should be accuracy.

Well, you know my opinion on breaking KISS generally as well as in this case specifically.
