I think this has been addressed before, just never sure where it went. When you are at the game menu prompt, and hit H to see the high scores, you see the scores listed by rank rather than value.
I think the days are long gone that we are concerened with "ranks" and would gather more information if we could see high scores listed as values. This way we could better assess our opponents viewing thier alignment values, without having to enter to game to do a clv.
Of course, this would only benifit those of us who don't want to waste a cloak just to see the clv
