Or is it the bias I have against analysis that doesn't successfully analyze - as in, what are those stats illuminating for us and what actions should they elicit from the players and coaches?

You're like the manager of a sales team bragging about how his people are the tops in the business at timely expense report submission. Ok, sure, but no matter how many independent reports show that this correlates with moving product, it matters not at all if the team doesn't actually sell anything.

PS: Calling stats compiled by eye and interpreted by fallible human beings "objective" is droll.
