[One Winged Angel]

Bad frames for some of the 16th jumpjack sections and overall difficulty of the mid-section makes me think it's fine at 70.

This factor, albeit quite small, does have a moderating effect on difficulty ratings. Something like RWoB for instance would probably be a point or two less in difficulty if the spike which occurs close to six minutes into the file was shifted to the very beginning, and I can guarantee scores would drastically improve as a result of that shift. Some may disagree with incorporating that as a metric when determining file difficulties, but anything that would otherwise impact the leaderboards for a given file should be taken into account imo, as current statistics provide the strongest argument for whether or not a file should be moved up or down.
