I’m led to believe if you’re in the bottom 2/3rds or so (as most of us are) it’s pretty accurate.
Of course most months it's probably more important to know where roughly you stand on a fleet, rather than where you are on the MSL. Back in the days of paper bid packs it was usually a question of "what page are you on"?
Nowadays I know the app(s) often tell you how many bidders on your fleet are senior to you but when you then hear that Global Constraints has clobbered the roster of somebody who is 97% off the bottom/3% off the top of their list you wonder if even that info is worth having ..
