About the intuition that it would produce responses further from the human ones (in fact, we see that for this variant, the BLEU is lower) - in a way, it could work as a regularization to produce more diverse responses and prevent some overfitting. That loss mostly affects the additional head's weights which are removed during inference, but we also multiply it by an optimal constant to be sure it doesn't affect the whole architecture too much. I've sent you a PM if you wish to receive some more details or empirical insights.
