For the purpose of this study  it doesn't matter  whether you calibrate
the ratings or not.   They are all relative and they are linear  (to
calibrate, just add or subtract a constant from each rating.)     The
study was designed to show the value of a doubling.   The study shows
that  with 11 doublings you gain approximately 1700 ELO points.
