I can't remember the Post I got that from. It wasn't talking about honor.

This is the only possible system in which you're rewarded most for giving the answers accurately, and your honor remains the same regardless of how you count it. For example, predicting A and B loses the same honor as predicting A and predicting B given A.

Technically, you can use a different log base, but that just amounts to a scaling factor.
