Denis, I should have been more concrete in what I was replying to.
In your post here, you mention the length of chains necessary to solve some of the puzzles in the database after direct eliminations from TH. As (I think) we all agree, for a solver familiar with TH, the chains are the harder part. You are arguing that the puzzle is not easy, while the others argue that it is not among the hardest. Aren't there puzzles that require T&E(2) or puzzles in T&E(1) requiring nets over 40 strong links long where no one has found a bypass with exotic patterns?
Just a couple posts above, Eleven specifically mentioned 10.0 (assuming SER or a similar rating) as a boundary. If I remember, T&E(1) puzzles should top out at 9.5, i.e. a puzzle which after applying TH requires chains/nets of length 8 is nowhere near a puzzle which remains above 10.0 after TH (you also seem to not understand what 'remains' means in this context, it means that the grid state after applying specified eliminations, here direct TH eliminations, is rated instead of the original puzzle and the rating acquired as such is considered; either that or you just don't accept that such a rating can be of interest, in which case I am telling you: It is of interest to us).
