Yeah. Since there's no longer a way to overcap stats by burning Notability, really high BDR is only important for getting Paramount Presence and grinding Favours. And in the latter case, even if the _most_ efficient grind requires the just-barely-possible 41 BDR, you can still do a slightly less efficient grind by counting to 37 or 33.
