Yes, but is there any way to determine what the connection is without playing a
fairly large set of new games between members of each pool? If so, it would seem
to me that at present comparisons are indeed 'meaningless'. If there is a
statistical way to determine this without new games being played, then I'm of
course wrong.

Well of course! I wouldn't say this constitutes a comparison as the original
poster meant it though.
