That's an objective analysis.
Do you really think it's possible to get into this tight home plate often and find a way to have a poor quality chance more often than not?

If a team allows a shot from that area, which is blocked by a defenseman it is considered one high quality scoring chance.
Another team allows shot from same area, where it is saved by the goalie, but because the net area wasn’t cleared a forward bangs home the rebound after 2 wacks at it.
Are these both considered one high danger scoring chance?
