To a certain point it does, then it begins to work against you I believe.
Bottom line, it's all just a algorithm, whether we agree with it or not. We provide the variables and the program spits out a verdict.
When my wife and I leased her car they pulled our scores. She had a score of 871. The theoretical max is 850 so figure that one out. Everyone was dumbfounded. Must have been some bug in the program. It's like scoring 25,000 on your SAT.
