But, more importantly, MAKE YOUR OWN FIGURES.

You only do yourself a disservice by criticizing ANYTHING from such an enormous position of weakness.
It's funny that you mention those two things in the same post, because I was trying to learn to make my own figures around that time that should have coincided roughly with the Beyer scale, and I gave up after assigning Smarty Jones a 152 in the Preakness.
