Sounds like you are "moving the goal posts" to me.
And, honestly, the primary reason I wrote it was to determine how much I suck at fantasy football -- it always seemed to me that players would score really well when they were on my bench, and suck if I started them. Optimum points, and the difference between optimum and actual, are a way to measure that.
(It turns out my gap between optimum and actual wasn't as big as I thought it'd be, and other teams had a much larger gap. Just because you have a feeling about something doesn't make you right.)
