I assume that the Segment Screen is based on the Dream race of Thoromation fame.
With adequate consistent contender selection the best fractions from the group of horses will be used to establish the rankings of each contender by racing segment and compounded factors on the Energy Screen.

Applied consistently this should overcome your objections. The program applies the same rules to all pacelines and beaten lengths whether you agree with this or not, that is the Sartin methodology. I, personally, am skeptical of the 3rd fraction calculations and the adjustment process used. It makes absolutely no sense to me to apply final time adjustments to the 1st fraction but that is the way it is. It just puts the responsibility upon the user to pick accurate pacelines and avoid aberrant ones.
