Do you think that Blitz or Rapid has a more accurate conversion to the true USCF or FIDE rating?

Rapid!!!!!! Its fast enough to potentially flag your opponent, but slow enough to calculate a few moves in. Blitz has a lot to do with mouse speed, so conversion to uscf or even fide may not be that accurate.

Rapid is definitely closer to classical fide or uscf rating because it’s slower and your moves can be calculated better to get a good rating meanwhile blitz can be rushed especially in the last 20 seconds Whe it’s just premove after premove and we don’t even need to talk about bullet
