Burning the Midnight Oil for Living Energy Independence

After the outcry when the Caltrain system between San Francisco and
San Jose (and once in a while beyond) faced a scare that it would drop
from 86 trains per day down to a peak-commute-only 48 trains per
day ...
... Caltrain was able to scrape together a 76 train per day schedule.

Clem at the Caltrain HSR Compatibility Blog:
http://caltrain-hsr.blogspot.com/2011/04/mind-service-gap.html
... ran the schedule through his commute service index, which weights
70% the average trip time, 30% the best trip time, 20% the average
wait between trains, and 15% the maximum service gap.

So giving the original 86 train schedule a benchmark score of 100, how
far did the 76 train schedule drop?

It rose to 104. On Clem's metric, the 76 train per day schedule is an
improvement.

? What gives?
