If you read that article and think, "once again, I persist in requesting that shot quality data be added to the existing statistics because it will make a difference or improve them in some way", you didn't understand the article. Or the many, many others that have reached the same conclusion.

The questions have been
addressed. But they have NOT been answered. Until a model exists that definitively captures the data and is 100% accurate in describing and differentiating, nothing has been
answered.
Many articles have been written, but no one has been able to push things significantly forward yet. So they have not been
answered, unless one believes that all useful information is in fact now being captured and there is no more information to garner.
Attempting to differentiate shot quality, but discovering that it doesn't help, is not definitive proof that shot quality doesn't matter. It only means that , so far, the information and techniques/methods aren't good enough to push the science forward and qualify as a bona fide improvement. That does not mean that there aren't improvements still to be made.
