Great point!
Thanks but I don't see the relevance of the reversal test. The reversal test involves changing the value of a parameter but not the amount of optimization. And the reversal test shouldn't apply to a parameter that is already optimized over unless the current optimization is wrong or circumstances on which the optimization depends are changing.
