Although Elo ratings are IN THEORY relative ratings within a limited pool of players, they are used IN PRACTICE as an absolute rating system. When Kramnik says "over 2800 Elo" nobody would answer him, "What pool of players are you talking about, Mr. Kramnik?" When he says "This program is over 2800 Elo" it is just as easily understandable to his readers as statements like "My son is over six feet tall".
