I'd kind of like to look into it if you have some (preferably agreeable) way that we can quantify the performance of a D.
I'm not of the mind that 'we've always thought this is the case, so it must be the case'.
I enjoyed this article but in my opinion there is some work to be done better define performance than creation and suppression of shot volume. I agree that it's an important component but the quality of the shots allowed and attempted are also quite important.
