It is a problem with our current interface that you cannot allow all reasonable values and have the slider cover the potentially most used range.
The other problem, as many times pointed out before, is that we do not tell users what some particular options mean (e.g. most of Turbulence or "Kernel Unit Length") and what units are used. Some tooltips are absolutely unhelpful, e.g. the one for Constant says "This constant affects Phong lighting model".
This could be solved in part if we had a GIMP-style context sensitive on-line reference. But that's another story.
