Proposal for Stick

In Response To: Proposal for Stick (Casper van der Tak)

There are two possible ways to play a match: to win, or to have the lowest PR. (I suppose there is a third, which consists of whatever the heck it is I do.) These are similar, of course, but not identical, and I feel all these challenges to Stick sort of miss the point. If we want Stick to play to win (which is the point of playing for stakes), but the real point is that we're going to measure his PR to see if he's a cheater, we're sort of moving the goalposts.

If we really want to test whether, say, Stick is capable of playing under a 2.5 PR in a long series of monitored matches, why not challenge him to do exactly that? You can just as easily bet on PR.
