Your point is well taken. Just indirectly. With that information alone (1400 points), I would not have any idea of how often they win against similar or higher-ranked players. I do not know how my post above came to you but my point was especially winning against higher-ranked players and losing against lower-ranked players ALSO currently matter in the determination of league points, not just player activity. Long sentence and possibly confusing, but I hope you get my drift.

Right right, but since you can't tell how someone got to whatever point total they have, the "how" is meaningless. Did they get 1400 points from a long bout of Fluffly matches? Or did they earn most of those 1400 while in ST? The only thing you can be sure of when you see a high point total is that the person has played a lot, which I think was what Quantum meant earlier.

I don't think that's true. I had a period of inactivity that must've been a month or so long, and I kept on appearing on the top 200 list in about the same ranking.
