Well it's kind of all doctored and subjective, isn't it? Even in regular rankings, we had the champ and then everyone else - what was the criteria to decide who was #4 on the list? Or #7? Ect.

P4P means a lot IMO because it's who the consensus top guys in the sport are. Of course the consensus can always be flawed, but so can any other form of ranking. At the very least it speaks highly to the impact you're having in your sport at any given time.
