Are people really making the point that prior stats - minor or major - are not a PERFECT predictor of future performance?
Well huzzah. Great point. You nailed it.
If, instead, people would like to make the equally obvious point that past performance (stats) is the <i>best </i>predictor of future performance, well I could get on board with that. Of course there are other factors - age, scouting, etc. - but previous stats are, duh, the best of the bunch if you had to pick one.
