There needs to be a decay to PL. If that's what you mentioned in the relativity of your earlier post, Mario, then I agree with it (to be honest, I didn't quite follow it).
If you write actively and consistently with significant quality, your PL will be tippy-top, with the diminishing returns you describe.
If you don't write actively, or if your writing quality takes a turn for the worse, your PL will dwindle (though it can be raised again through more activity/quality).
Can't remember if I mentioned this simile earlier; it'd be like muscles. There's a limit to how strong a human being can be. Working out provides diminishing returns. If you don't keep up on it, your muscles atrophy. If you do a half-ass workout after being all big and buff, your muscles will atrophy to a point, but will not dwindle all the way.
It's exactly like that.
