If we did that, what would happen in the admittedly unrealistic case of 
someone scoring 95%? And, since A- would have to be average - 10%, why 
should someone with a high score still get a score much better than an 
average or bad pair, for the same offence? One offender receives 60%, 
the other 30? I don`t care whether they lose the same amount relative to 
their average. You can`t sell that to anybody, ever. What, he gets a 
better score when he acted as stupid as I did?? I do not think your idea 
is bad, but "unpopular" would be a very diplomatic description....
