Well, no. Somehow *no score* got entered for it in the scores file, and so it's being given the default score of 1.0 -- I don't know why this is so -- probably because the original score was in the wrong section of the scores file or something. I'll do some investigating to make sure it doesn't happen again.

There were apparently no messages triggering Q_FOR_SELLER in the entire 300k message corpus used for 2.20 score setting. But it should then have been the case that the GA just left the score unchanged from the original 4.0, rather than deleting the score. Something went wrong somewhere between creation of the rule and the current release.
