It looks like 72_scores only holds scores for rules from 72_active.cf plus scores for MSPIKE rules and SURBL_BLOCKED (what's that doing there?). If 72_scores holds generated scores why are so many of then 1.000? You say that 50_scores is "handcoded default scores", but at the top of the file there's a big block of scores that are claimed to have been set by perceptron, which I understand fell-off a long time ago. They certainly look autogenerated. On the face of it it looks a lot of the rules I assumed were autoscored are using scores generated years ago.
