RED alone offers performance improvements already right?

If all TCP connections are equally important, RED still
improves things. WRED offers nothing in addition, right?

WRED's purpose should be analyzed as 2 parts right?

1. Just scrambling the peaks and valleys among TCP's
   slow start and back down mechanism improves throughput.

   1.1 This RED alone can do.

   1.2 This needs some random process math to understand.

2. The weighting part prevents "undiscriminating drop"
   
   2.1 We love to prevent this.

   2.2 This is plain information everyone understands.
