Red, I wasn't saying that Alex was wrong. Quite the opposite - proper stats are, as he said, the only objective form we have to compare. Anecdotal evidence is extremely unreliable.
If you noticed my reference to baseball, you'd have understood that I don't discount stats at all. (Not your fault for not paying attention to what must appear to you to be a very, um, provincial game.) There's a fault line in discussing baseball, and I prefer the statistical side of baseball analysis. Proper stats, mind. Not the meatball mediahead stats like "batting average, home runs, RBI." I'll stop there before I totally bore everyone.
