The purpose of the rating system, when it comes to getting paid, should be to identify who is likely to stiff you tomorrow. While past stiffs obviously has an effect on this rating, bad vital signs of books (especially relatively new ones) with no history of stiffs is at least as important an indicator. I feel sorry for people who take these ratings at face value.
Let's face it, there are really only two categories here. 1] The true A books, and 2] The true B books (some of which advertise here, and some of which do not and are given Ds).
