Help understanding XG cube information

XG's live cube tp assumes that the trailer will always redouble when the leader has a marginal t/p. Trailer's dead 4 cube tp at 5a-8a is 25.07%; leader's 8 cube tp is 42.27%. Trailer's live 4 cube tp is then 25.07% x 57.73% which is 14.47%.

At scores where more than 1 redouble can occur, XG's live tp assumes that all future redoubles will be perfectly efficient. i.e. Leader redoubles to 4 when leading 10a-15a. XG's live 4 cube tp for the trailer will assume that both the trailer's 8 cube and the leader's 16 cube will be perfectly efficient.

What you might call the true tp is usually about 70% of the way from xg's dead tp to xg's live tp.

Xg's live tp figure will be correct at scores where the taker has an auto recube before his next roll. i.e. trailing 4a-2a. It's also correct if the taker knows that his next recube will be perfectly efficient. i.e. Money game bearoff where both players have one checker remaining on their 6-point.
