...then human rankings don't mean much either because everyone has different criteria, as seen in this thread. One thing you can't accuse the computer of is being biased for or against...

The human criteria are easy to surmise because they are probably similar to mine (and all of ours) and we differ in how much weight we put on certain criteria (some people rate win-loss record heaviest, some go with recent performances) and people will say which they favour.

Some of those criteria would be difficult to program I would think so I'd like to know which ones were used and how they were weighted. I want to know the same thing when I see a human ranking.

I think they should do a p4p vote as well as the weight classes.
