It is a vicious cycle but if you want the movement to gain more acceptance the advanced stats community has to figure out how to have the conversation without the attitude.
It was the same problem that our old buddy muddy had - though far worse with him.
I really enjoy the analytics guy that 960 has on in the afternoons. He has interesting things to say, doesn't trot out things like "the Flames will regress next season" and very patiently explains what it all means. Kerr asks him direct questions and he responds perfectly - addressing the objections. He is a guy that clearly believes in the advanced stats but uses them to supplement how he watches the game.
