I prefer to use the same approach I use in playing tournament chess. Ignore the player, ignore the player's rating---there is only the game. Or in node terms, there is only the content of the node, anything else is error prone and since I can quite easily screw up all by myself, I don't need to add to the problem with faulty technique.
