I assume you are referring to Julius' timing out. As bad as Frank's timing out was, it was not nearly as bad as Julius' timing out. Julius was wining in a game and was also winning 6-0/7 in the match when he timed out. His mistake would have taken much bigger toll on his BMAB PR.

I don't know how much larger it could get from the error itself. Frank resigned in a position where he's 92% to win the match this game and if he loses it obviously he's 50/50. That jacks his MWC up to 96%. I don't know of Julius' situation but honestly, it can't get much worse. The only reason Julius' error would have a larger effect is because his match was to a shorter match length, a blowout, and therefore far fewer decisions to offset such a blunder.

inclusion of such matches can distort ones PR and make his sample not representative of his true skill...

Their true skill is that they're able to time out of a match. I find it very representative. Donkeys.
