To the extent this ripples through the WAR system, there's good room to dispute it as an inviolate number. Usually, folks who produce WAR note that it should be used more as a starting point and rough comparability than as the Bible.
By the way, when I said the "folks who produce", that's a reference to the developers of the systems. They say don't treat it as the end of discussion. It's more like a starting point or framework rather than end of story.
