Peter nails it in a word.

CE was something I sketched out during an idle moment long long ago. Not a lot of thought went into it. I can vaguely recall having argued over the formula once before - perhaps with the moderator team... I think Vince wanted credit for draws?

Anyway, my rudimentary thinking now is the same as it was then:
  • how often in war is a draw the desired result?

I don't think sports examples are relevant due to the massive difference in "stakes".

Counterpoints?
