Well said.Well, there is a considerable amount of evidence to suggest the scores are accurate (actual data and numbers), but there is only anecdotal evidence and "it seems to me" type claims supporting the inaccuracy of the numbers.
I'm really shocked that Fargo hasn't attempted to organize an event to illustrate the accuracy of the scores. I'd pay to watch 5 matchups. Each matchup could highlight a different claim. For example, we pick someone considered to be a bar table specialist, pick an opponent of similar fargo rating but known for not playing on bar tables, and match them up. We take Siming Chen and a similarly ranked male and match them up. We can also select some lower rated people. Or whatever category people might like to test. I think it would be extremely informative, and it seems it would very much support the veracity of Fargo. Unless of course it totally contradicts the Fargo predictions, in which case we learn something anyway.
Why isn't this happening??

That’s happening naturally all the time of course, and Mike Page about once a month posts some comparisons.
Here’s one about small vs. large tables and Sky Woodward: https://youtu.be/Oi8h2xcldec
And the Fargorate Facebook page is filled with analyses like the ones you mention.
