Yes, it is a mistake! It's setting a bad example of "I'll change the MacCready setting to ridiculous values until the result matches my pre-defined expectations". And this kind of thinking is what causes the misunderstandings among users here. MacCready is for when you expect to circle, and nothing else. If you want something else (for example ridge soaring, or other types of soaring), you need a new theory with new formulas. XCSoar does not support that, neither does any other glide computer I know.
