If you think that was a sticky post, you really are new here.
Yeah, the thing with changing the letters is exactly the same-- don't worry about vowels becoming consonants, grammar questions etc. The temperature thing is the same too-- even though the horses in a race are being compared to each other (and to their past histories), not to an arbitrary scale.
Some of us have somehow adjusted from the days when we were looking for a horse who could run a 5 to win the Derby, and now look for horses who might run a zero. And done pretty well, I would add. I'm guessing we can adjust to looking for 5's again.
Here's a thought-- maybe I'll SUBTRACT 5-- that way a LOT of the numbers will be negative. Doesn't make a difference, right?
