Sure. As I said birdie opportunities are a function of hole design and par setting. Except that isn't responsive to Chuck's point, as I see it.

I believe that the answer to this is sort-of “yes”, with the specific term for it being “compression”. Basically, each stroke gained is worth fewer ratings points.
