This is not a particularly effective cheat; you still end up having to
do
significantly more than half of the computational work. Is there any
evidence
that this may be happening?

George argue: Nobody would do LL if a succesful TF was rewarded the
same - he is
Which remind me, to avoid the cheat possible, the award for finding a
factor should be set somehow bigger than only the nearest 6x bits.
Give
a factor something like the full value of TFing it to 66 bit!
IMHO the TF with a factor found should be equal to an LL; but I have
already discussed
