Sure, but to me, it sound like you believe this is a case of assuming no-DR untill proven otherwise. If anything I would probably say the opposite: assume DR untill proven otherwise. >I really don't care if there >is a .01 DR per ply for the next 5 plies. It could be much larger than that, in all the rating lists I've seen the errorbars are +-30 rating points or something like that. Of cause we don't expect to see a DR of 2-3 points on stats like that. If there is DR it is most likely not 20 points per ply, it is probably more like a few points, maybe even fractional points. >I only care that there is a definite >and pretty constant gain from 12 to 15 plies, which will take me several more >years to pass. IE thru depth 15, I am _certain_ that the gains will be both >measurable and significant. That will hold me for a while. I'll let those >that are 2 years old worry about what happens 100 years out from now. :) Even if there is DR, going deeper is still a good thing:) -S.
