We also know that in OOTP as it currently stands the numbers for all eras are something like 0.5%.
At the very least, giving us a park effect to set ISTP HR% is going to enable the game to be vastly more accurate in this area than it is today.

I agree a hundred percent with most everything you say. haha. But using hard numbers on years based off of the information gathered is not something I think should be done because given the limited amount of them I don't think it'd properly reflect the odds of hitting one in a given year.
An incremental approach (like I and you have both mentioned) I think is the only reasonable approach. I just was unsure if you were promoting use of hard data each year based off of possibly inaccurate findings.
