The whole concept behind advanced stats (Corsi etc) to to generate enough events to make it statistically relevant... however weak base input data is.
this is sort of like using robocalls for surveys (less accurate results gotten fast and cheap) rather than in person interviews.
I have never seen a coach or player argue about the accuracy of calling a dump in a missed shot.

I hate to wade in, but even this part is incorrect. I have a lot of studies that show automated surveys are more accurate than live calls in many types of situations. My point is you are making a lot of assumptions, that at times are contrary to conventional thinking, without providing evidence. Both in the hockey and non-hockey related points.
