(
make

The view (that WHR targets accuracy) seems correct considering how is the WHR rating used: to improve matchmaking. Also, there probably are some people that are interested in the system as it is (that encourages accuracy over perceived fairness). I think the best is just to accept there can't be one rating/ladder to make everybody happy, so just show multiple. I prefer the accurate one, but I would not mind being low/incorrect on some other "ladder" that encourages regular play...
