It is helpful to realize that the human beings who walk the planet interact with visual cues in different ways.

The indentation of nested ratings is a relatively bad design practice that "works" but should be avoided if you can--which OOTP could. We've talked about this in other forums for some time. I am also one for whom such practices are disorienting. I wish the screen designers would do a better job. Alas, it apparently is what it is--though they did create a setting to stop showing BABIP in a way that means you can remove your ability to see all the ratings in order to go to a screen design that is less off-putting.
That said, I'm glad that you are having a good experience.

Here is another example.
The OP did nothing to suggest he was responding to the claim the screen is disorienting. He specifically referred to the claim that a specific aspect of the screen, if slightly altered, would render information unintelligible, for that was the claim made. Not disorienting (whatever grabbag of arbitrary meanings that offers). Unintelligible. Which is ridiculous. One suspects it was posted to offer a counterstrike, just for the sake of it. But it's disingenuous and so not a counterstrike but something else. And, the post in quotes here is another example. A counterstrike. And a strawman because nobody said anything in the OP about disorientation. So again, a counterstrike on the surface but actually something else. And for some reason it seems to occur with some frequency in this forum. And so yes, it is sort of insane to make such ridiculous statement and claims as though they should be taken at face value.
