Again, if you're going to argue the semantics of the term ".500", why even use the the term in the first place and confuse people? The term has always been meant to be used for mathematical reasons.

Your point would make more sense if it was a shoot out loss as OT has always been a thing. But again they are two seperate stats. Like I touched above. If you were tracking a players goals per game over a season you wouldnt count assists as anything. But they're both points. Win percentage often gets blurred with points percentage as the same thing. They are two completely different stats.
