But neither of those subjective terms are measures of firmness.  In terms of firmness a Heavy 10 is very very soft.

You didn't read what I wrote.  I acknowledged variation between tracks and but that you can calibrate the measurement per track to deliver consistent ratings where in terms of firmness a Soft 6 at Riccarton is a Soft 6 at Riverton.  Most of us know that the ratings at Riccarton and Trentham are suspect regardless of any variation in the respective tracks.

Yes. The correlation between penetrometer readings and speed is also established in the literature but obviously that is only useful if the penetrometer readings are taken and reported accurately.

Is there much difference per 1 tenth of a point?  E.g. 5.2 vs 5.3?
