You can always increase it.

No, it would not make sense to hide it, but here it is not being hidden.

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).
