And there, my friends, is proof that normalization no longer exists. (Am I doing this right? If Treyomo's previous comment was proof of normalization, surely this comment is proof of no normalization.)
Incidentally, the max rule in question would have been "Improve Statistical Accuracy." A cursed setting that I'm glad to hear they turned off ten years ago.
Many thanks to Treyomo for putting this question to bed at long last. Folks, it's a day for celebration! You no longer have to worry about nefarious black box activities. I'm sure it's a huge relief for everyone who had been concerned, and I'm sure those folks definitely won't just ignore Treyomo's comment and continue believing in the black box because they want to.
