You're right, but this seems to be a rare boundary condition where some users think it's fun/interesting and others are triggered by it and the two groups are the same order of magnitude.

In such cases the story is going to keep showing up no matter what we do. If we don't yield after 14 submissions we're destined to yield after 140! I'd rather yield after 14. It's just one thread, and easy enough to move on from.
