In the stateless-rpc case, linear growth means getting a bounded
number of 'have's worth of benefit (new 'have's) in each round, in
exchange for a linearly increasing cost (existing 'have's). That is a
high cost for limited benefit. Exponential growth is a better deal.
Ahh, of course (silly me). I somehow forgot the cost of having to
repeat what we have already sent to the other side.
