Why? Because that is the proper way to go about something that is so far from being complete that it is still closer to complete ineffectuality.

Let's just take it as read that you're right and the people asking these questions - like the shot quality one earlier in this thread - have in fact read the myriad articles addressing their questions and explaining why they should not, or to what extent they should, create an error bar on the usefulness of shot attempts as a statistic.
That's clearly
not the case, based on the tone of the questions ("how can anyone think Corsi is useful when it doesn't take into account shot quality? It treats a shot attempt from the point the same as one from the slot!") but let's just assume it is.
Raising issues, having those issues fully addressed, and then raising them again isn't a way to go about anything. How could it be?
