Damn Dynam0, our minds think so similarly LOL.

Completely agree with your entire post. I think that will eventually raise the question about rating future files that don't meet the standards mentioned above. For example, Almost There, do we rate the file based on the 32nds, or the entire file? There are pros and cons to both choices but I think the overall preference in the community seems to be the former.

Only thing I dislike about the first option is the ease to farm free AAA equivalency from grinding that file. If you play the file enough times, you'll soon score a good PB and get free equivalency off of it, but I think that's mainly the fault of the skill rating formula more than the difficulty of the file itself.

Overall, good standards and awesome post.
