I'm still waiting on an explanation of how score specifically relates to anything in this game.
Not only have I repeatedly and fairly succinctly answered all of your questions, still you fail to understand, even despite having just said it yourself (in part), about different scores occuring in different ways.
As you quite rightly keep saying, score on it's own is next to meaningless. The one point where score on its own stops being meaningless is when no set of circumstances besides insufficient contribution can possibly explain the score in question. I think we can all agree someone at some point has a score so low that they just didn't do enough of the very important task of shooting at enemies, by far the #1 way to get points and generally a good idea in most shooting games.
As far as my comments on comparing the performance of players in any one match, score is only useful when taken together with (most effectively) first hand experience of a match. Commenting on any match you weren't in is pretty much just heresay (if not entirely just that), but when you were in the match, saw what happened throughout and then looked at the score and medals at the end, you can very easily put 2 and 2 together and get a sense of what went on.
This is only after extensively playing the game and seeing first hand all that transpires, but once you've seen all the situations for yourself and seen the scores they result in, you can take score (and medals, not to mention different scoring expectations of classes/builds when played well, map/enemy/difficulty, etc.) and put it together with everything else you saw to get a sense of that game and the sorts of contributions everyone made. As for carrying, someone can be said to have been carried when they didn't score more than the "bare minimum" as stated previously, which is a matter of opinion where the bare minimum lies, but a fact that there is such a minimum score.
For me (based upon my experience and as such in my opinion), anyone who extracts on U/U/G and only has 50k or less is someone who didn't pull their own weight, i.e. were carried, and is an example of someone who:
A) weren't playing up to their full potential, or
were playing above their skill level and should go down to Silver until they can do better.
Whatever the reason, below a certain number of points there is simply no amount of things you can do that aren't counted by score which are capable of outweighing a lack of what the score does count (mainly damage to enemies with a bonus for the kill, although capping objectives award as many points as a boss enemy if done ASAP, and support roles also award medals, such as revives and assists, which award some few thousands of extra points, all of which I've explained to you in particular repeatedly, and will not being doing again).
Wherever that line should be drawn is a matter of debate, but your persistent denial (and that of all those of like mind with your baseless hardline position) of the obvious facts aren't even allowing the debate to be held, so either wise up or kindly leave those of us who know what we're talking about to discuss this without your interference (not that I expect you to listen or even understand a word of what I'm saying, but this is me saying I'm done talking to you now, I tried to be nice and explain it all for you ad nauseam, but you just don't get it, and I have better things to do than keep at it ad infinitem). If you've been enlightened at last, hallelujah. If not, don't expect me to acknowledge any subsequent nonsensical questions, neither this thread nor this disussion come anywhere close to being worth the hassle.
