Yes, I've heard.... but not to be too cynical or anything, do you think scores actually place a benchmark for who's good and who isn't?
Not at all, it's a cumulative rank using all of the combined ranks to place you by what the scoring system deems as worthy of giving a higher rank.
It's really redundant, it doesn't say who's good or who isn't... just who can get the better score.
Lotta guys I shoot down have better "scores" than me, I don't have the time to get a "good" score... but that doesn't mean I suck... and if I had a good score, doesn't mean I'm a "pro" either.
