Doesn't change the problem (or does it?)  : I'm quite happy with the 1,000 
factor that returns directly millipoints of equity loss. Changing it to, 
say, 10,000 in order to have the decimal place disappear would sure make it 
easier to instantly read my error rate per move... but this same rate would 
now be expressed in tenths of millipoints : this unit is really not ideal to 
have an instant grasp of how you performed in a match, as all serious 
players have been used for *years* now to think in millipoints (with or 
without the 1,000 factor, but that doesn't matter, millipoints just are the 
BG world common reference).

So, summarizing it, reading more easily a data expressed in a much less 
significant unit doesn't sound as a good trade to me...

That's why I would like the error rate per move to remain expressed in 
millipoints (ie. leaving the error rate factor untouched at its current 
value, 1,000) but with the decimal place deleted.
