Human beings are not machines. They do not behave predictably from one to another. When are you going to realize this?
I'm a CS guy, too, and life would be a hell of a lot easier (and a lot more boring) if there was a Turing machine for "human," but that ain't life.
Human beings ARE machines. Yes you are right, they do not behave predictably from one to another. That is because the machines are not all the same, do not think the same, and do not all operate (consistently) the same. That is why they bother to rate the players, to discriminate one from another. When are you going to realize this?
I don't want life to be a Turing machine, but if you are going to bother to rate things (kind of like giving a student a grade) if you don't do it based on mathematics and some objective measurement, then what the hell are you doing? You are doing no different than what s&p, Fitch, and Moody's did.
stop with the moody's thing, your knowledge is based on a movie with Steve Carrell in it based on a book by the king of all over-simplifiers, Michael Lewis. Next thing you will be telling us that the Greek God of walks is on his way to the hall of fame.
You know what, they didn't send Curt Schilling this week so.... the Hall of Fame is all just subjective bullshit anyway Teddy.
