They shouldn't be used as the only source of truth. Just like the eye test shouldn't. Or standings. It is all just another input.
So I don't know why folks have to just try to throw it all out.

Actually, the standings are the only source of truth. Because the standings aren't an input. They are an
output. They are the result, and results are what matters.
We have a coach in Gulutzan who fails the eye test badly, but passes the advanced stats test. The latter input has not translated to success under this coach. Not once in four seasons as a head coach.
