To be fair, I totally agree with you , on the above statement.
But I still reserve my judgement on the veracity of your argument re. dismissing other's ideas out of hand without knowing all the details on the grounds of statistics. How do you know that someone could not achieve the strikerate AND
POT he claimed? After all it would be just part of the overall statistic, an anomaly to be sure, but not necessarily impossible. What statisticians do, is to ignore the anomalies, because it is outside of the norm. Normaly it works OK but we are talking here about highly volatile "data" if you an call it that? It is no more or less an opinion in the final analisys.
Now, If you are talking about systems, concernig PP or starting prices, pools, etc that is a different matter alltogether .
