<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->(from the article) The funny thing about people are who bothered by stats is that they (almost without fail) tend to use<b> other</b> stats as a battering ram.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

It's funny that this line was actually in the article (and even highlighted by me), and yet both tom and Sipes did exactly that.
Anyway, the reason I printed out the article in the first place was to show both sides;
I'm kind of closer to rok's view than you think.
I've always loved the line by the crusty old ballplayer (was it Toby Harrah?) when he said,
"Stats are like a woman in a bikini...they show a lot, but they don't show everything."

That kind of sums up my feeling.
There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
