I'm OK with all of this and I think most of us agree that ratings are always going to be a relatively subjective process, as long as they are made fairly with as little bias as possible. In other words, is BOL an A- book according to SBR because of its strengths vs. weaknesses and overall market position, or because it greases the wheel for a manipulated, under-the-table bump? The latter is what most of us are concerned with. No one is expecting a perfect grading system, but an honest one with the player -- not the book -- in mind would be appreciated.
