Personally I'm someone who admits to having a limited understanding of "advanced" stats, but am always open to new ways to analyze and understand the game I love. I find more than anything that the viewpoint you seem to typify in your posts so far is my biggest turn-off with them. This elitist attitude does nothing whatsoever to generate discussion in this or any other forum, and I find it very prevalent with a lot of stats advocates.

Instead of being so dismissive with posters who take a differing view you could instead expand upon why you feel your stance is valid.
