Perhaps I typed un when I shouldn't have. I was never trying to say that assisted
scores are higher than unassisted. I was trying to explain why that was the case.
This is what I said:

You are right - I mistyped. This should say "lower assisted scores".
Sorry about that. Thanks for catching it.
Whomever made U the precedence for assisted is to blame - ain't my fault. :-)
