[HtoA 4.0.0] Standard Surface Shader "Base Weight" - Why is it 0.8 by default?

[Adam_Chabane1]

Hello, I tried looking for a definitive answer but could not find one to the question: Why is the "base weight" 0.8 by default? The arnold documentation does not specify the importance of base weight, is it 0.8 because that is physically accurate or other reason?

Thanks

Adam
