They give some confirmation to my secret lack of appreciation for the popular 2.4 point/trick ratio.
I would like to hear from others that insights on this topic.
My gut tells me that when we are estimating "trick:points":
Maybe the Aces are each worth 2, and remaining trump after Aces and Losers have been assume would be worth 2.5?
I look forward to continued discussion, because I think the jury is very much out on this topic.
Perhaps we can iron this out well enough to create an Expert's Hand Classifier!
Tigre & Marya, we might need a larger sample size for crunching stats.
Or maybe a larger competition pool, PlayOK's hand histories are sufficiently formatted to handle this type of processing. I have a small stockpile of games from there.

My gut tells me that when we are estimating "trick:points":
- Non-trump Aces should be using 1:2
- Trumps might be closer to 1:2.25
- Other Winners might be closer to 1:3
