I do think that playing to appreciate the files (i.e. for fun) and playing for MA/CBs (i.e. for competitive reasons) are different things, though, and we shouldn't try to push them together too much. I wouldn't worry that awesome art files can be annoying to score on, and I also wouldn't worry that scoring players sometimes do things which destroy the quality of the chart they are playing (e.g. by playing on a high rate).

Well look at it this way: A downhill ski course is designed for the 2030 Winter Olympics and people have developed a way to create an exact mirror image of the course as well. Do athletes have the luxury of racing on the course that best suits their strengths and the best absolute time over the two courses is counted? Or do they race on both and the times are averaged? I think the latter is a more accurate way of gauging the more skilled racer. In other words, if people compare mirrored to non-mirrored scores on an absolute basis, it's a really silly way of telling which score is the better one. However, playing just for fun really isn't a big deal and a relative comparison between mirror and non-mirror seems reasonable.
