That's like saying you know all the data says that climate change is happening but instead rely on the fact that it is cold out right now so therefore we need more global warming. The trend doesn't matter because of the results happening right now.
No, we've reviewed the data, listened to the arguments, have observed the results, and have come to a conclusion of the required action based on past experience and similar outcomes. The data is not being supported by the results, and has not for some time.

We're basically observing the same behaviors another team did when they thought their coach was better than he was. There is a move afoot searching for fancy stats to prove this team is better than the results, when the results remain pretty consistent regardless of the fancy stats. "Visually" this team is better than the results. Bottom line, this talent on this team is better than the results are showing, at least this is what the moves of management to assemble the team suggest. The talent is there, but something is preventing it from using its strengths. What could that possibly be?
