The biggest thing I take issue with is when people authoritatively argue against the value of analytics with statements that are factually incorrect.
Making a blanket statement that they have no value because we won 3 games while getting outshot is as ridiculous as the US senator who brought a snowball into the senate to disprove global warming.
I'd also contend that the eye test is incredibly unreliable and inconsistent. Two people can watch the same game and come away with totally opposite interpretations of it, based on their biases going in.
