I think you'll find if you fairly assess the people who are anti-stats on here display a considerably more arrogant and dismissive attitude - also generally mocking. I have answered a number of legitimate and honest questions. As has Street Pharmacist and a couple of others.
However, many others are simply "here's what I think is stupid about corsi". It's not an instance of someone wanting more information or wanting to know why the issue they've raised is right or wrong - it's precisely dismissive for the sake of being dismissive. It's "the Flames are bad at this so I would like it discredited".
It's also exasperating, so I can either get into a pointless discussion with someone who doesn't want a discussion or I can be dismissive and say "multiple people have written about why this criticism is wrong, so try looking for them."
