OTOH you are right, -t0 behavior is pathologic.

I think the way out is to not use discover_retries counter
for "select" packets. Help text does not promise that.

I propose that the number of "selects"
to be hardcoded to be 3 for now.
If someone would explain a scenario when it truly needs
to be variable, we can do that.
