Go up one level in this thread

ELO is self adjusting.

Programs that learn will rise in ELO.

Programs that repeat the same mistakes will drop in ELO.

This is as it should be.  Just like a human who learns.  They are not static in
ability either.  Each game is a pinpoint in the sea of data.  After each
measurement, both pinpoints are disturbed.  Neither sits where it was before.

It could well be said that ELO tells us nothing about a contest between machines
A and B of well-known ELO a-priori.

It only tells us what a probable outcome should be.  Not what will be.
