first, let me say i appreciate your effort in keeping the site running smooth and sound. But then, I am afraid that i cannot concur.
For unsettled position, what rule to use estimating is anybody’s call. nothing to argue about that. but for my particular case, all positions ARE SETTLED. nothing ambiguous. all ko is settled. From move #246, 247, 248 on until the game is closed, THE BOARD DID NOT CHANGE AT ALL.
An margin of error of 2% DURING the game is nothing. margin of error is due to uncertainties. when the game is not finished, uncertainties are plentiful. But if that error is not caused by uncertainties, but rather by using a different rule than the game itself, then it is not “margin of error”. it is called “systematic error”
