(I'm not saying you're in a big snit. I'm saying I've seen many such snits in PGTs after losses, especially this year. If it were all said in conversation, I could chalk it up to blowing off steam, but when people put that stuff in writing they can have a tendency to stick to their most extreme opinions and get defensive rather than cool off and change their minds. Verba volant, scripta manent.)

Then why discuss it? Looks like a meaningless thread. THANKS BINGO !!!
Its a stats vs eye test discussion. Take a side or not, but don't tell us that we are just wasting our time because no one can predict anything. Its what makes us fans.
