Explain this a bit more. If I understand you correctly, this is yet another
weighting. Presumably it should be in the range (0-100) but as always although
it never goes down below 0, it seems it can exceed 100. What does values of
for example

7 * 16 mean?

I'd also like you to get a links to where you got the original info from.
