That test on the "Power of Bunt for Hit", the one where all your findings were wacky and inconclusive? You've gotta be kidding me. You didn't even have a conclusion. You mostly wanted to know how the rating correlated with speed!
I appreciate the effort, but I may need more of a walkthrough of the significance of your various tests. I am curious to see whether my anecdotal observations hold up to the scrutiny of testing, but I'm still waiting.
By the way, maybe you should focus only on the leadoff hitter, or the top couple. Either way, it's your test. If you're running it to convince yourself, and you have, more power to you. If you want to convince others, keep going.
