Yes, in the end it ends up the same.

Oh, and suppose a 1700 player decides to use Bidoof for 10 games, and only he used Bidoof in the entire month. Then Bidoof would have a 1700 average rating, and thus it means that Bidoof was used by one of the 'expert' players. But isn't that actually true? Bidoof would have been used by only expert players! So what's the deal about 'inflating statistics' and stuff like that?
