By experiment we probably can't decide either way.

Say 13-14 gives a 70 point increase, then 14-15 may only give you 69 extra
points and 15-16 gives you 68 poins.

This is diminishing returns, but 1 elo probably can't be measured by experiment.

The diviation from linearity is probably within the errorbars of the
experiments, so I think the experiments are inconclusive rather than in support
of the no DR theory.
