HD results

[saschia]

bit OT, but I'll post it here anyway.

the number of Norberg Value is the ranking in % comparing with other dogs of that breed! (when a dogs has NW 30 it means: 29 dogs have worse NW results and 70 dogs have better NW results. So the average NW will be 50)

I don't really get why some things are evaluated in this way. I know that it tells me right away how is my dog in comparison with the rest of the breed today, but it doesn't tell what is the overall population trend. For example if HD would be given as % of population, then my dog having 10% might be great, unless of course the mean value for population is 2 (C) with only 5% of population having clean hips.
