The wiki clearly states that a rating of 1300 MAY fluctuate between those numbers. It was a hypothetical example.

Find one person where this is the case, and it proves the assertion. FYI, I've seen this fluctuation in my own ratings. I was within the top 150 players in season 1, then dropped to a 8,000th ranked position. There are various reasons why I and others experience such fluctuations, but that is a whole different discussion. Please feel free to reply and ask for the specific reasons why I fell as much as I did.
