Except you're not doing that. You're saying "here's the data" alright, with the caveat that whoever doesn't agree with you is an idiot and not worth talking to. All in a really condescending way.
This really discredits anything you say regardless of the data and the response to you is likely overwhelmingly negative.
Which is probably why you seem to have such a jaded view of hockey fans (and probably people in general) and don't get very far with your arguments. There are a lot of smart people in the world, and they all disagree with each other. The sooner you accept this the sooner people will start paying attention to you.
