Am I the only player that XG performance rating is better than the Snowie error rate?

I'm sure you're not unique.

But there's one other thing you should verify. Do you have outplays turned off in XG? If not, then XG might be reporting a better PR than it "should."

I frequently had to rollout Snowie analysis of which I did not agree.

Did these rollouts include plays where Snowie liked your OTB play but you suspected it was wrong anyway? Most players focus only on the moves that the bot complains about and so they miss erroneous plays that the bot (on evaluation) fails to detect as erroneous. I try to roll out some number of plays that I considered difficult OTB, even if the bot agreed with it on evaluation.

When you use a stronger bot, it will not only stop falsely complaining about your correct plays that a weaker bot might disagree with, but it will also start complaining about your incorrect plays that a weaker bot might fail to catch.
