You have to look only at the differences _between_ the programs,
anything else is useless, because everyone uses deliberate start
ratings. (Moreover don't trust rating lists generated by CB GUIs
themselves, they enormously exaggerate ratings in the lower half
of a list. They also don't have error bars...)

An example would have been nice too...
