Who knows. Weighting has a long tradition. If your protest is to the absence of a public rationale for this particular weighting, I'm with you; if it's to weighting per se because of these outcomes, I'm, obviously, not. Reweighting, when done a) without notification to the reader b) without obvious justification and c) with major, yet undisclosed, effects on the results, tends naturally to awaken suspicions, especially when all the benefits go to one side of the aisle.
