could be a determining factor for eliminating outliers. Of course those picks can be subjective as well - they are determined by coaches/committees who have their own preferences/agenda. But generally, they are made up of Top 20 players or close to it.

For example, anyone who watched Sonia Citron play in International tourneys, knows you can throw out that 33 rating.

And of course there is the Benjamin Disraeli/Mark Twain quote:
"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."
