We WILL get accustomed to any changes made in short order. However, numbers, negative and positive are infinite and relative. And relativity is all that really matters when assessing a race; A 2-point difference between the favorite and 3rd choice will remain the same. A point will still equal a length at 5f, five pounds, a path wide, etc etc. For those that use comparative figures in addition to T-graph when handicapping, i.e bsf, equibase, Roman PFs, the relative differences can still be noted. By the way JB, you may want to add 10-points while you're at it, to save you the trouble in 3-5 yrs (or sooner-Mineshaft?) when these improving beasts are running negs again. LOL
