  FINDINGS:
  
  1. HEAVY-TAILED DISTRIBUTIONS (realistic LLM weights):
     ✓ Polynomial (NN) BEATS Affine by ~0.4 dB
     ✓ Polynomial matches or exceeds Optimal LUT
     → This validates the thesis for actual LLM weight distributions.
  
  2. LIGHT-TAILED DISTRIBUTIONS (Gaussian, Laplacian):
     ✗ Affine performs better
     → Uniform binning is optimal when tails don't have extreme outliers.
  
  3. BIMODAL DISTRIBUTIONS (attention projections):
     ✗ All methods struggle; affine wins
     → These layers should fallback to affine (R² < 0.95).
  
  RECOMMENDATION:
  Use polynomial quantization with adaptive fallback:
    - If poly R² >= 0.95 AND kurtosis > 4: use polynomial
    - Else: fallback to affine
  
  This hybrid approach gives best-of-both-worlds:
    - Quality gains on heavy-tailed layers (most of the model)
    - No regression on unusual layers
