I have found that the adaptive scoring mechanism does not assign the correct score to subjects that it has seen before. I suspect that this is the fuzzy matching routine, but I am not sure. As a result, the only useful adaptive scoring I get is on authors. The strangest thing is that if I ask for a score trace (V t) on an article that should have been adaptively scored on its subject, I get the proper entry from the .ADAPT file, even though the score of the article (V S) does not jive with the trace.
