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.  :-)
