Tiers are a trick
In validator, the use of probability convergence was a mathmatical "trick" to bring horses closer together than they would have been on other screens. It was an idea, I was told by the programmer, to get people to consider horses that did not have top line scores as they often won anyway. Knowing that, you can understand why the tiers don't always align with the other evaluations.
Saying that, when they work, the tiers can be powerful: The best thing to do is chart how they project value for the races you follow. At some places they are great or on some surfaces: i.e. Validator always used to have an edge on the lawn.
