The guy with 40 is not going to show 5 as his number as long as coaches/scouts is turned off. It will always show a 4. So you are comparing a 4 to a 5. I believe the example you were tying to show it the difference if you have a 4 (who is really a 35) and a 4 (who is really a 44). Which I will agree is a difference, but I personally do not consider it huge, nor do I worry about it. But that really is all just personal opionion.

It was a couple years ago.

But that could of been just a function of Pierre's tool. I wasn't around back then so I can't really speak on that. But think about it. If this "hidden" rating is nothing more than based upon the ratings that already exist and you already know what these other values are. Then it means nothing.
I personally do not believe there is anything "hidden" like this in the game. I may sometime have to prove it to myself by doing a binary analysis on the players.dat file. Would not take that long to figure it out.
