  1. @handlebar4520 The problem is twofold with your view/response/comment: 1. He used hormone levels that AS A PLACEHOLDER, as a simple example, he didn't even remotely said "this is what we need to do". How can you miss that ? 2. What he's proposing totally isn't an ELO system. In an ELO system you gain points for winning (or placing high in this case). It is based on the RESULTS of your matches/runs. Totally not what he said. He even gave the most simple example you can have - weight classes. On a weight class system, someone at 100 lbs will NEVER compete vs a 200 lbs person. That's not how it works. There's clearly defined brackets / segments. With an ELO system, a 100 lbs person might get to compete vs a 200 lbs person and forever be jumping between, say, 180 to 200 lbs competitors. Which, as you say, IS wrong, but, again, what he said totally IS NOT this. I appreciate the percentages. You seem to know some details about the topic. I'm genuinely and unironically baffled how you missed the point so ... completely. I can't think of an easier way to explain it than he did (for something short and on the spot)
