Besides, this score is NOT manually chosen. ALL_TRUSTED is still assigned by the Perceptron. I'm simply giving a reason why the perceptron assigned a lower score. Nobody manually went and hacked back the score. The test data demanded it. quotes from STATISTICS-SET3.TXT: 3.0.0: 1.453 0.0261 2.8051 0.009 0.74 -3.30 ALL_TRUSTED 3.1.0: 0.152 0.0081 0.4860 0.016 0.41 -1.80 ALL_TRUSTED Note that the S/O is nearly twice as high in the 3.1.x mass-checks (0.016) as it was in the 3.0.x mass-checks (0.009).
