It would be better to normalize interest values when merging contexts.

See 331172: warn when copying context to a task that already has context
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=331172

From comment #9:
> after you
> merge 2 contexts, the elements in the merged context that are interesting might
> all come from only one of the original contexts. We could try to change the date
> stamps on events or somehow normalize interest levels between the 2 contexts,
> because the user might expect/want the set of interesting elements in the merged
> context to be roughly the union of the interesting elements in the 2 original
> contexts. Otherwise, the difference between merge and Add might not be
> noticable in some cases.
