No, arguing that we should remove a parameter because it's useless
when you haven't bothered to test whether or not it actually is
useless is wasting people's time.

If they have no actual benefit, of course we should remove them.  If
they have no measured benefit because no one has bothered to measure,
that's not a reason to remove them.
