sigh, let's recap. you said:
Players with high levels of experience tend to perform at a good level.
i said only that you're "way overrating experience IMO". You then respond by claiming that 2 of my old guys "seem to disprove that", because they perform better than you think they should.
So using your logic, I gave you an example of a different player on my team.... one with half the salary & much lower experience -- performing as well as the very example you used!!! I asked you to explain that. (but you never did)
I don't think you can include any games with lucky fans.
Why I showed you a lucky fan game: It was a game between players of very similar skill levels. The
only major difference being experience. 12-13 levels difference, which is certainly extreme. Now if guys with sensational-tremendous experience & high enthusiasm can't even outplay lucky fans... what does that tell you about experience? (note: in case you didn't know, lucky fans have atrocious skills).
Tell me if you get the difference between the following:
#1: Random players are doing better than expected. They happen to have high experience. Therefore, it must be because of experience.
#2: Having repeated matchups between equally skilled players, with the only real variable being experience. The experienced players fail to significantly outperform inexperienced players game after game. Therefore, experience must not matter as much as many believe.
Look, I'm not going to spend time compiling you a report, or summarizing a bunch of data for you. Either believe me when i say you're overrating experience or don't. This isn't a public referendum or anything. I gain nothing from convincing you & I really don't care to get in an argument over it.
