Magnus is disgraceful

@ytermayor It's an opinion, entire subjective. There is no way to truly tell who is "right" or "wrong" when it comes to the skill level of past world champions.
I'm curious why you could characterize it as "disgraceful," which suggests shameful, dishonorable conduct. It's such an oddly aggressive choice.

His opinion isn't entirely subjective. There is surely some element of objectivity. Consider that Fischer is universally regarded as a great player. Is there anyone who thinks he was the worst player in history? Even a bad player? Unlikely, if they know who he is. So, there is some agreement which certainly suggests that it is more than purely subjective.
Calling him "disgraceful" over that is really odd. He just expressed his opinion, while lso is far more qualified than any of us in this thread in this regard.

Also, since FIDE elo ratings seems to have suffered deflation (which is funny, since the popular voice is on inflation instead), I don't think is crazy to give Judit and Bobby the same score, considering they have similar peak ratings.
