Curious why you think Sonas formulae are flawed (if that's what you

That is what I meant. They're flawed because they assume that
inactivity results in weakening. Yet most players will take some time
off before an important match or tournament, both to rest and to
study. Sonas's formulae penalize them for doing this even though two
players who take a month off to play a private training match will
inevitably emerge stronger rather than weaker.
