I do not know how scope function is manipulated internally.
With that disclaimer I am in agreement with those that think in the middle or close is a happy spot. So many rules of thumb in industry advise. Gas or liquid pressure gauges are said to be the most accurate in the middle, if system pressure is normal @ 500 psi, use a 1000 psi gauge. Apples & plums maybe, but from just strictly a mechanical viewpoint, it makes sense.
How would you want the shock absorber normally positioned on your car?
Just pondering.
