This all depends on the rating system. Depending on how well the rating system is calibrated, reaching 6d might make things easier or harder. I expect that for computers, reaching 6d will make things easier, because the level of play of computers is very uneven. Some of the fast progress of Crazy Stone when it passed the 5d bar might come from that phenomenon.
