Maybe it's time for a change?

PR is a measure of performance. Player strength means the same as player performance as I see it.

Understanding, on the other hand, means knowledge of how or why something functions. To me this indicates theoretical or practical knowledge rather than intuitive capability.

A racehorse or greyhound or car may has tremendous performance without any understanding.

A backgammon player (or bot) may have good performance without having a deep understanding of the science of backgammon (including theoretical and empirical knowledge). Understanding relates to input and cerebral processing/filtering, whereas performance relates directly to output in my view.
