Using this equation and the encounter geometry again, we find that the probability density for $\Gamma_{\rm obs}$ is
\begin{equation}\label{eqn:dpdGamma_obs}
\dfrac{dp}{d\Gamma_{\rm obs}} =
8\ 4\ \Gamma_{\rm act}^{-2}\ \Gamma_{\rm obs}.
\end{equation}
Considering a fixed $\Gamma_{\rm act}$-value, this expression indicates we are more and more likely to observe such a devil with a wider and wider profile because more distant encounters are more likely and the more distant the encounter, the wider the observed pressure profile. Conversely, if we observe a $\Gamma_{\rm obs}$-value, the expression indicates a high likelihood it originated from a narrow (small $\Gamma_{\rm act}$) devil.
Again combining this expression with the recovery bias gives the probability density for a devil with a given $\Gamma_{\rm act}$-value to be observed with a $\Gamma_{\rm obs}$-value:
\begin{equation}\label{eqn:probability-density_Gammaobs-Gammaact}
f_{\rm \left( P_{\rm act} =\ {\rm const.} \right)}\ \dfrac{dp}{d\Gamma_{\rm obs}} =
8\ 4\ \Gamma_{\rm obs}/\Gamma_{\rm max}^2.
\end{equation}
We see the dependence on $\Gamma_{\rm act}$ in each term cancels out, and the probability to observe a $\Gamma_{\rm obs}$-value in a narrow range depends only on $\Gamma_{\rm obs}$, meaning observing a wider profile is always more likely, no matter the profile's underlying width.

which, for a uniform $n(\Gamma_{\rm act}) = k$, gives
\begin{equation}\label{eqn:n-Gammaobs_from_uniform-n-Gammaact}
n(\Gamma_{\rm obs}) =
8k\ 4k\ \Gamma_{\rm max}^{-2}\ \left( \Gamma_{\rm obs} - \Gamma_{\rm min} \right) \Gamma_{\rm obs}.
\end{equation}
Figure \ref{fig:n-Gammaobs_from_uniform-n-Gammaact} illustrates this result (using linear axes since the curves are not as steep as in the previous figures).
