So a bot which appears on KGS, gets rated as 25k, plays hundreds of

What happens when all those beginners that start at 25k improve, many
of them well beyond 15k?
They rarely play hundreds of games at the same strength then improve
suddenly. But you have a point. I am just explaining KGS policy, not
necessarily justifying it.
I often wonder if rating is actually an exact science ;-)
I hope no-one thinks it is.
