I don't care if it is generating credit. It is not doing the real science
that we are supposed to be doing. It is just a gold plated benchmark. It
cannot guarantee that the next result is valid, it is only a better credit
estimator. It is a waste of time to program, it is a waste of time to run.

And you must have missed the several posts where I have repeatedly
said that each calibration task run is awarded the same amount of
credit as would a "normal" task if not a small but significant bonus
to encourage opt in ... were the bonus large enough the cheats would
actually prefer these tasks ...
