One of the tricks to this game is figuring out who’s got it right for a specific race. For me, the Bluegrass is a tricky one. |
Let's say we have a controlled experiment where a robot fires eight different rifles 1500 times and one is slightly more accurate at a distance than the rest, then we make another pass (pass #1501) so they all fire one more time, this time the least accurate one hits the target when the most accurate one missed. At this point we end the experiment and when I ask you to choose which of the 8 to hunt with because your life will depend upon its accuracy to survive, why is what happened on the final pass relevant to your decision? To me it's just another race in the test set. This seems to me almost like a dog chasing its tail but maybe it has entertainment value. Unless someone is changing the way they make numbers I don't see the value in trying to chase down who got it 'right' in a specific race as some sort of ongoing test. Let's not forget someone can in fact with the least accurate numbers accidentally get it right, there's that too.
