I didn't come up with the idea of using a PLAYER RATING to determine the champions of multi-stage tournaments. I simply suggested keeping a player rating for ALL official tournaments on this resource. But people got so hooked on the rating that they decided to create a separate rating specifically for the Kanighem tournament and use it to determine the winners. Which isn't entirely correct. Or, they could consider Sage's arguments about the decathlon. I hinted at this, but then I gave up, thinking, "Whatever, go ahead and decide – why not run the tournament as a decathlon?" By the way, it still makes sense, BUT I didn't suggest it.
Notice, I didn't suggest it. :) You have a knack for making people laugh when they least expect it.
So, why are you banging your head against the wall of your rating system, explaining all its merits? I criticized it from the perspective of its usability across multiple tournaments. What a strange person. They rush in and chop without understanding, and then heroically deal with the consequences of their actions.
Why do you emphasize the difference in results if it won't matter to anyone in the next tournament? What good will it do?
