If people wouldn't be so stupid to do that and know that "ok.. so Tiger is worse than Ruffian in this particular setup.. that doesn't mean anything with another setup though", then Christophe wouldn't complain. But since people are obviously not that clever, he has to do it in order to avoid wrong conclusions. Sargon
