I'm reasoonably well versed and I couldn't agree more.

for example:

The Panthers had good underlying numbers but a bad record and they all said "They're just being unlucky". Now the Panthers are doing well despite their underlying numbers plummeting and they all high five each other like they've beaten Steve Simmons at pong. The group think is next level with these guys.

You want advancement in analytics? Start arguing their merits with each other
