Note that this business of contempt is just an attempt to exploit a flaw in testing. To determine a rating reliably it should be based on result against as many stronger as weaker opponents, and most rating list just do not do that at the top.
As performance against NN engines seems difficult to predict from results against AB engines, and vice versa, it makes sense to introduce separate ratings for those.
A better rating method ?
