I don't understand on what I should shed some light?
I meant in my post that I understand patientadvocate's feelings about the rating situation as I am sure he feels that he should deserve some R or more. I agree because I find some of his posts very interesting.
Yet, the attribution of R's, I feel are quite arbitrary. It depends on what the person attributing the recommendation believes.
Unless there is a clear winner who won because of undeniable facts or uses logical thinking and arguments, most of the debates I have seen are one side that will not see the other side.
Then, the Rs would be more about the skills of the debators and less about real knowlege.
