Phil confuses quality control with fraud detection. The best guard
against the latter is free and open public access to rating and event
history, and an open forum for members' questions and comments about
what appear to be ratings anomalies (named or otherwise, Phil, heh,
heh, heh).

Phil's prattle about QC vis-a-vis titles is ironic, given his aid,
comfort and general flackery in favor of questionable claims by one
well known USCF board member.

Leaving aside his own well-known claims to being "nearly an IM", of
course, and his alleged 2450 rating.
