Suggested Idea for Performance Grading

Extreme Gammon is a phenomenal program, but do we really assume its analysis is so accurate that we should bequeath titles on players based on how well they adhere to it? Jellyfish was amazing in it's day (and is still a strong player) but XG is much better and we certainly haven't reached the end of the bot evolution. State of the art it may be but it will be obsolete someday. Then what? I think Mochy's 4.0 club is a fun idea and while one certainly has to play at an extremely high level to be in it I don't think subdividing it into various categories is a great metric for determining levels of mastery; grand, super-duper, or otherwise. I love XG. It is an amazing tool to improve one's game, but this cult of the PR seems to be getting out of hand.

Just my shiny two.
