When using winrate as a measure of how solid a handicap/rating system is,
one should use the winrate for each handicap individually, rather than
lumping them all together, to avoid what ArsenLapin1 pointed out.

Luckily, the vast majority of them are around 43%, plus or minus 5%, judging from the graphs.
