Let me tell you a secret – just between us – I have never been a proponent of aging as such. Initially, I considered the goal to be building a balanced calculation for the tournament rating. I suggested, and still suggest, that it be taken into account in the form of a cumulative annual rating... Then – reset it. This is much closer to my liking, because I don't like "nitpicking" :) The current rating reflects exactly this, not very flattering, comparison... Cosmic races, in a word...
No, you say – should a player's rating always increase, and if it decreases, then only due to aging?
That is, I'm not an expert, but is that how it is in real life? If a player plays well and suddenly shows poor results, doesn't their rating decrease?

Seven digits after the decimal point or ten – the result will still be close to zero. I wanted to ask if it was worth fighting for SUCH a rating? :) I don't think so. In my calculation, I give a BONUS for high places. As a result, several people at the bottom lose... Yes. No one is without sin... :)
All other questions – we are just repeating ourselves... I don't see the point in starting a debate again.
