Fergus, I have tried to mean 'clear, by argued reasons'. But returning to the point, I am now contrary to drastic changes in a rating after a single game, even when a low rated player beats a very high rated one. There are many factors that can produce it, including forfeit or stopping in the middle by any reason, and one game can´t be so decisive. I agree with tuning the modifiers, but I believe this is not a very easy task.
