    Note an arcanum
    
    There's a reason why this assertion has long been made for sales_load_:
        LMI_ASSERT(0.0 <= sales_load_);
    but not for premium_load_. Writing one for premium_load_ and commenting
    it out is less obscure than omitting it.
    
    The reason is that a "discount" was to be given for a certain subplan to
    reflect lower commissions. Notionally, the "sales load" represents
    commissions, but in practice it was already less than the commission
    reduction, so it was expeditious to set a negative rate for this load.
