No

It is clearly possible that some chess program get low rating and improve by
1100 points because the programmer changed it from playing random move to
something better.

I think that a good rating system should allow change of 1100 points in few
games.

If 1500 program gets 8 out of 10 in a tournament when the average of the
opponents is 2500 then it make sense to give the program 2600.
