Thanks for the explanation of the cause of the ratings floors.
Given this, I still maintain that it leads to a corruption of the
rating system.

If preventing sandbagging was the only reason for rating floors, it
would have been much better to just say that nobody can win a class
prize in a class more than 200 below their highest ever rating, or
something similar.
