Do you have confidence in the current FIDE rating system?

In view of the current consultation on FIDE ratings I thought I would set up a poll to judge the level of confidence in the current FIDE rating system.

Surely "yes/no" is too binary here?

Many would likely answer "to an extent, but it could certainly be improved".
