It was wrongly refering to equiprobable distribution, which I think
I'd originally done, but forgot to update the comment after changing
to triangular

Two recent papers quantified the real usage bias for the
real output in a ring being the true one, and shows that
the current biasing is much too weak.
While we wait for a better solution, we increase the ratio
of recent-to-total fake outputs, as well as decrease the
time window for recent outputs, so that half the fake outs
are selected within the last 1.8 day. Value plucked from
figure 10, page 11 of An Empirical Analysis of Linkability
in the Monero Blockchain, 2017, Miller et al.
This is also arbitrary, of course, but serves as a stopgap
till a better selection algorithm is chosen.

If using a large input and many destinations, the code would
generate as many outputs as it could using that input, even if
it would bring the resulting tx above the max tx size.
They'd be rejected as suspicious as the change goes to more
than one destination. However, split transactions will most
likely include fake zero amount change to random addresses,
so we only consider change with non zero amount for this.
Because some people just won't even try to read what is written
and freak out because the word FATAL is in here, despite the
context making it clear it's not an error.
