Ratings cannot be trusted : why?

1. Humans are very inconsistent

2. There are unknown factors to be considered

3. Lot of others

As for an idea, a 2000 definitely has his/her own opening repertoire(1).

He/she knows basic endings of all minor/major piece endings + king/pawn(2).

He/she knows tactics and combinations sometimes even capable of brilliant shots mixed with half-baked brilliancies(3).

He/she had read a lot of books already and had been playing games thousand times(4).

Last but not least his/her behavior started to look like fischer..
