But anyways, it does not work to inflate ratings. You might win more often, but you win less and lose more for each game.

Yeh I guess so...does it really bother you that a 1400 player isn't actually a 1400 player?
Why do some players artificially inflate their ratings by playing opponents rated much lower than themselves?
I see a lot of people with a highest of 1400+ and their average opponent being 1100 or so..
