XG PR Categories revisited

In Response To: XG PR Categories revisited (Michael Depreli)

There are two different questions here. One is what labels the software should use. If I were on Xavier's sales team, I would favor flattering the customer with lenient labels. Weaker players will be more kindly disposed towards the bot if it assures them that they are as good as they think they are. Serious players, on the other hand, know better than to pay any attention to what label the bot chooses to slap them with. So from a marketing point of view, it's better to be lenient (though not so lenient that the lie is no longer believable).

However, if you're not suggesting that XG actually change its categories, but asking what definitions people have in mind when they say "world class," etc., then that's a different question. In this regard, I feel that GNU's labels are close to my own personal feelings, at least for the labels "supernatural," "world class," and "expert." However, GNU's thresholds for "intermediate," "casual player," and "beginner" are much stricter than my own. As for "advanced," I think it's a tad too strict but not by much.

I think your suggestions are close to GNU's, though I'd put the threshold for expert at 6.0 rather than 6.5.
