A figure weather hand calculated, or computer generated is still just a figure to help you in selections. Beyers are no better than speed ratings with variances.

That's fine.. I look at the various BRIS reports and find some useful, but can't take their speed figures seriously if they aren't allowing for the possibility of split variants over the course of an afternoon and the other important variables that go into serious figure making.
The accuracy of the figure is important because it helps give the best possible indication of the performance pattern of the horse in question. An inaccurate figure can skew judgement by giving the wrong impression of the horse's likeliest effort next out...
