I gave the example I did because it explains the phenomenon better. Unfortunately, we can only score in one-throw increments in our game. There's not such a thing as 0.7 throw or 0.2 which would add more precision. Throws are a little blunter instrument for measuring performance versus ratings but at least they are known values as you play. But ratings can be more precise as indicated in previous posts. It's a fact that one throw is legitimately worth more rating points on a lower SSA course than higher SSA course. It's a fundamental fact of the ratings process, not just because I says so, but the math dictates it has to be that way. So if two players play a course with a higher SSA and one with a lower SSA and they tie in total score, if one shot better on the lower SSA course, that player actually shot better overall.
