> 3. Exponent Base (Seen as constant 10) > In the articles I’ve read I have not ever seen this changed nor was it mentioned that a change could be used, but if you’re designing a special system and perhaps looking for something else to tweak this might be an option. It can be easily shown that changing the base is equivalent to scaling the exponent, so if you're already scaling the exponent by a semi-arbitrary 1/400 chosen for aesthetic purposes, there really is nothing that is added by discussing the base of the exponent separately.
