When I've finished a game with XG, I have a moment of considerable
tension as I wait for its PR verdict.
What I've found is that my guesses as to how I've played appear to
be completely uncorrelated with the PR score. I might feel confident
that I've made all the right plays, only to be given a PR of 24.
Or maybe all my decisions seem dubious and I turn out to have
played near-perfectly.
What do others experience? Are others able to guess correctly
how well they played?
Thank You,
Paul

Your failing is believing that what the bot tells you is gospel.

Your failing is believing that what the bot tells you is gospel.This is irrelevant. Even if the bot has completely mistaken ideas of
good backgammon play, it may still be possible to predict with high
accuracy what PR it will give you.
For example, take the following exchange:
"Do you think it's likely to rain tomorrow?"
"It doesn't matter whether it rains or not since we'll be spending the day indoors."
It seems to have the logical structure of this thread.
Would you say that the response is irrelevant because it says nothing to address the likelihood of rain?
I wouldn't.

It seems to have the logical structure of this thread.It seems that a better parallel would be:
Would you say that the response is irrelevant because it says nothing to address the likelihood of rain?
I wouldn't.
"Are you good at predicting what weather.com will say about tomorrow's weather?"
"Your mistake is taking weather.com as gospel."
"That's irrelevant; one can be good at predicting what weather.com
will say even if weather.com is terrible at predicting the weather."
