Also, there are so many variables which are not taken into account such as:
Ability to Bunt
Speed of the Runners on Base
Pitcher Your Facing
Upcoming Line Up
Fielding/Throwing Ability of Fielder

Absolutely. I believe in Sabermetrics on the whole, but every situation is different. I use an AL team with the DH turned off league-wide. I'll routinely bunt with my pitcher early in the game when the opportunity arises and I don't want to pinch hit for him yet. Also, I find the AI will put some pretty strange infield combo's together late in the game after a round of pinch hitting. Bunting at a RF playing 3B works pretty decent!
