Yeah yeah you encode blu-rays as your profession at a gigazillion bytes per second, that's only a very small fraction of what video is compressed. Personally I use -2:-3 at crf 22-24 but even a -1:-1 already gives a massive improvement.
Probably because having a high deblock-value increases compression (according to b.waggoner here). But yeah, for transparent encodes, having a lower deblock-value (to a point) is great.
