Of course it does. Similarly, a substantial majority of those who engage in the practice of prayer think that it is highly effective.

Coaches and players have an intuition about the relevance and effectiveness of fighting in hockey, but like all intuitions, it may or may not accurately reflect reality. The intuition itself—even when it is held by a huge majority—does not prove the validity of the claim.
