OK, if these stats are garbage then provide some deeper insight beyond “I seen it” to make your case, because that’d be worth discussing.
Are they invalid logically? or practically? How did you come to that conclusion? How do they “suffer terribly” with small sample sizes and what sample size would be more acceptable to measure what happens in a game? Hell, what are the specific “stats like these” you’re referring to?
I’m no expert myself but I think this stuff is pretty interesting. On the other hand, an argument to dismiss stats without any concrete/objective reason why is just incredibly boring.
