Foot Stomp Seasoning Skew?

I have been noticing some that are closing some heavy grippers. But failing when someone sends them a "hard" #3. They subsequently rate this #3 at a 3.5. I guess it is good for the ego. The common thread seems to be that when this happens the "failer" has almost always foot stomped the crap out of his own grippers.

Really how can a #3 be anywhere in the neighborhood of a SuperElite? Or a RB300?

Stop kidding yourselves!
