If you are going to be a journalist, you should learn to choose your words to capture your intent more precisely. Unless you are going for Francis sensationalistic crap style. Then have at it.

You didn't call
that stat meaningless, you called
save-percentage meaningless. It would be a slight to the foundations of journalism to use inference to assume that your quarrel specifically rested against the particular stat that I chose in my initial post. In journalism, we're taught to take words at their face value.
Verbatim, what you said is "Sv% is a meaningless stat," not "a three-game sample of save-percentage is too small and can be easily misconstrued to suit an argument." You can say that's what you meant, but after only reading your first post, I did not get that impression.
Please apply the precision you value so much to your own posts.
