I don't think it's a question of being offensive.  It's simply a question of how it
would work.  The "Leaky Bucket" analogy only works if all modules can handle the
same average throughput over an extended period of time.  Otherwise, the "bucket"
will simply fill up and overflow.

By design, all the balls go in one end of the GBC, and come out the other.  For the
"throughput zones" to work, there must be a way to get some balls from the middle of
the GBC, around the slower modules, and to the end.
