Good lord, NO. In the first place, the "RGI" bugged everyone—not just the "advanced stats guys." In the second place—and more importantly—it bugged everyone because it is an impressionistic assessment tool based on variables that are interpreted anecdotally. It bugged everyone because it was demonstrated quite clearly to be nothing other than an apologetic designed precisely to reinforce your own intuitions about "grit." It's propaganda.
