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.

Do you know why? Because advanced stats are complete garbage. They make zero sense, because they are unrelated events, and show zero validity toward proving anything. I swear, every single one of you advanced stats supporters need to take an actual advanced stats course to get a grip on how just how little value these advanced stats mean absolutely nothing. These stats don't pass the sniff test let alone the actual consistency and validity tests you subject actual studies to. This garbage is flat earth pseudoscience trash where the dreamed up science behind the argument draws nothing but eye rolls from actual scientists/statisticians who use statistical analysis to prove/disprove theory. The reason they get thrown out is because there is ZERO support to any of the claims these crap stats suggest, and longitudinal studies completely crush this pseudoscience garbage. But hey, continue to spin more fantastical pseudo-stats that prove nothing and fail under the examination of longitudinal study.
