[Bug-gnubg] Match statistics: Error rate per move/decision (continued)

[olivier croisille]

Hi,

At first I was sharing Scott's opinion and preferred the old method. After 
getting used to it, I agree the 'new' error rate already given in 
millipoints is more intuitive and readable.

Now I realize why it took me some time to adapt and why the current format 
is confusing : the 2 decimal places have no justification IMHO, and the most 
readable format would definitely be to remove them.

Indeed, it just adds no valuable information at all, and even doesn't make 
sense when GNU gives me an error rate of, say, 12.48 : if you think about 
it, those 0.48 are *hundreds* of millipoints, which just doesn't make sense.

My 2 cents worth

Olivier


PS : Jorn, BTW, I contacted Olivier Baur as you suggested, to provide help 
for the French translation, work in progress.

I added it recently  -- personally I thought it would help readability,
but if that is not the case I can remove it again.
