(1)Prolificists(15+CVs), when they rate others' CVs do not evaluate, and when they evaluate do not rate. (2)Prolificists are almost exclusively from USA and UK (recurrently in objective, scientific worldwide opinion polls the two 'overseer', or aggressor, nations) (3)Prolificists' own game write-ups are longer than average the more space for interesting annotations. (4)Despite their engagement in the field, Prolificists have less knowledge of Chess history and CV precedent, for the time they put into it, than Inventors who claim 1 or 2 CV novelties. (Example: Historical expert John Ayer has no own Inventions) (5)Prolificists actually play their own games less than average. (6)Prolificists' Rules write-ups tend to fall at extreme either very complete or very sketchy. (For ex., RBetza either gets carried away in detail or offhandedly describes in one sentence an alternate) (7) Prolificists are nowhere welcome except at Chess Variant Page. (8) Prolificists are especially unwelcome at Xiangqi or Shogi websites, since there is no corresponding obsession of their adherents to toy and tinker their Rules ad infinitum.
