Avid Artist Control Encoders - Can we make them linear?

Ok so I'm really enjoying the Artist Control.... I'm actually having no connectivity problems and everything seems to work as it should.



However, I really HATE these encoders. How the hell are you supposed to write predictable automation when the encoder accelerates unpredictably?



is there ANY way to make these things behave in a more linear fashion? Who's terrible idea was it to have encoders behave in this fashion?
