Thanks for the flag!
I might not be understanding correctly, but I don't think there's a problem here with the actual underlying code just my explanation of it (we all hate magic numbers). Which is very fair enough, the notebook is much too dense for my liking. It's still a work in progress!

I agree! The Squiggle team is looking to create different quantiles for different distributions. I've needed them on several occasions. You can check out the discussion on GitHub here. It's on my todo list.
