I agree those values should be changed. I like the wheel approach.

Maybe we could even have several sets of values. One of those sets could be
the depth of the average hole in millimeters. Other sets could be
characteristic for the surface or of the preferred mode of transport. Maybe
other cultures have other ways of evaluating smoothness.
