Agreed on that point.
A better mechanism, IMO, even though it doesn't catch all the cases: provisional ratings, where you don't affect other peoples' ratings much for the first n games (and where your rating moves faster, too).
Effectively it acknowledges you have less of a prior when you've played few games.
