I'm not sure if that is entirely true, historically, I can explain.. The emission schedule was changed when the tail emission was added, however that was early on, to your credit. Smooth was the one who proposed it iirc, then it was added shortly after. It was not part of Bitmonero originally, as Smooth, Fluffyponyza, et al did not arrive until ThankfulForToday abandoned the project. Maybe someone with less gray in the beard can put some dates on that, I'm just going by memory.
