Line 203 that you referenced:
"Secrets: Added expansion settings to the rule_values table instead of the variables. The PVP settings will also be here now, too. (See Optional SQL with this update.)"

We aren't saying the code was bad. We are saying that the databases never accurately reflected the code. By indirectly saying we don't have intimate knowledge are you saying that you expect everyone to verify all the code that refers to rule_values? If you verified it yourself and knew this was a problem then why didn't you help the numerous threads of people who couldn't get it to work?

The fact is that Grumpy is the first person to discover this problem in the PEQ based databases and/or was the first one to share it so he deserves all the credit.
