Compatibility of Lucasarts games

Why are the Lucasarts games listed as 90-95% compatible when they have no known issues, are perfectly playable (except for the MM part of DOTT) and VERY thoroughly tested by all the users out there? Is there some kind reluctance to mark a game as 100% compatible? Maybe 99%?

By convention, we generally don't give any games we've added support in ScummVM for by reverse-engineering them more than 95%.

Uh? And what's the issue with BASS and broken sword? they got 98%...

Yes, parts of the team received the source code for those from the rights holders.

Well, so that code is labeled as `reliable' with respect to the one from the scumm engines which is entirely written from scrath... I see.
