Yeah, but if you get paid after each share via LN and you can switch
pools instantly, then the worst case with centralized pools is that=20
you don't get paid for one share.  If the hasher sets their share
difficulty low enough, that shouldn't be a big deal.

I'm interested in whether braidpool offers any significant benefits over
an idealized version of centralized mining with independent transaction
selection.
