I can agree with this. However, ricardodw hasn't even begun to do the statistical legwork required. He hasn't established that there is
any equivalency between hits, blocks, takeaways, or giveaways and goals for or against. I can't even say he's confusing correlation with causation — because he hasn't even shown the correlation. The scaling factors would arise naturally, if he first proved that there is something to scale.
