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.

Ok, I think we're on the same page. I think that if you're doing a deadball historical sim it would be very good to have a park effect setting where you can just eyeball it and set the ISTP% to 20% or whatever. That's an improvement, and gets you close to real-life results. A lot better than 0.5% ISTPers and an unusual number of fast guys hitting lots of 550-ft homers.
There still will (eventually) need to be a way to tie together ISTP% with gap power/HR power/speed, or you'll still get fairly regular 500-ft homers from 5' 4", 140-pound Willie Keelers.
