PDO is a descriptive stat, not a predictive one.

There is a fallacy that many people repeat, which claims that PDO strongly regresses to the mean over large sample sizes.

This is not correct. Good teams routinely carry high PDO's over entire seasons, or even several seasons. Poor teams do the opposite.

There is nothing inherently unsustainable about an outlying PDO.
