Obviously, I don't see any relevance of this to my post.

Also seemongly, no one has the patience to understand what I want here.

I mean, I don't like it when one program e.g. version 7 gets good results over
program x, and upgraded version 8 gets worse results over that same program x.
It's not consequtive.

Even if you say it's better overall, but just wit a different ballance, still,
SOMETHING got UNballanced and went backwards.

I like it that when you get an upgrade, you should no longer be yearning after
its predeccessor, because of it having some playing quality which is missing
from the upgraded version.
