And finally, it is about, or should be about, long term results, not individual race results. Any factor or rating under the sun can be terribly wrong in individual races.

I am not telling you not to use the EPS in your own calculations, Raybo...you are free to do whatever you want. Red Knave asked me a question, and I am telling him why
I don't use that metric.
I use speed ratings because they provide a clue to the puzzle that I can't get by another means. Whatever the EPS can provide, I can find in a more accurate form someplace else. But, as I said, this is strictly my OWN opinion...and I wouldn't presume to enforce it on someone else.
