I'm sorry Crash, but this is just illogical.
Is the winner of the Caulfield Cup each year a certainty? If not, why should "accurate" ratings be asked to do the impossible?
By your definition of "accurate", it is impossible for any ratings to be "accurate" no matter how good they are because in order to be "accurate" according to your definition they must defy the laws of logic and consistently select horses to win that are not mathematical certainties to win!! |
