it's just a correlation. like you allude to... some 4 star are not as good as a 3 star. if it doesn't adjust to era / statistical environment (settings, not results), it's not even necessarily accurate for your league, either.

as long as accuracy is 100%, no stats included in the evaluation and not relative to position it's definitely consistent in moving up/down and the causes. those are choices a player makes. your own fault if you don't like it (not being snotty, but maybe you didn't realize this and want it different?)

as far as that choice, i'd suggest not making it from your perspective. as a human you can adapt... the AI, not so much. i'd set these tihngs to mold/shape ai behaviour as you see fit. (that's definitely not an argument for 100% accuracy, btw... flaws should exist. ai gm's should make bad choices too. i'd even back up using ai eval including stats, even though ratings are more strongly correlated with results- most often, depends on settings a bit)

you already figured out that you can do better... even if you have ovr/pot calculated in an absolute manner via settings, it's still not as good as you can do.

especially if you use a larger scale for the ratings... the rounding errors alone make it terrible in comparison. (it's a 10pt scale, even though there are 5 stars, any scale larger offers better information).
