There seems to be a theme in the last number of posts suggesting that those on the -anti advanced stats' side of the argument don't understand the stats or think they are flawed.
While there are some valid arguments that there are some marginal flaws, that is not the problem at all. The stats are fine. What they are quantifying is fine.
The primary problem is that the people wielding them often don't understand how to utilize stats for analysis. Too often it is a case of: here's a stat showing an imbalance, therefore this is going to happen.
Doesn't work that way.
