watchez is no longer the teacher.
Needs to be the student.
Watches is right though.
I get that people want Fargo ratings to succeed but you still have to be honest on its weaknesses.
Sampling will never be as accurate as the complete picture and when you sample then ratings are going to be off.
On top of that, nothing in the system that rates people on how well they play, factors in how well they played. That alone will cause more innacuracies. Losing 7 to 0 against a guy that put a 7 pack on you is not the same as losing 7 to 0 when you made 3 mistakes.
If you want to use the system to make handicaps for amatuer tournaments then it is better than nothing I guess. But if you want to rate the best players in the world then to be accurate you need to keep something like accustats on all of the wpa events.
