Some people ignore the context and take the statistical information as full evidence, in and of itself. And that is a flat-out wrong way to use them.

So don't ever have an opinion about players on other teams? Because a guy like you or FDW pumping up the Hamonics and Brouwers before we actually have to deal with 82 games of them isn't exactly based on you having watched every shift of all 300+ games of their careers. It's just based on the moments that you remember complete with all your aesthetic biases.
No one said stats are "100% accurate" but outright ignoring what they indicate because a player "looks" like you want them to "look" is more foolish
