From this I get that there is coding in the game making some players more and some players less prone to slumps... and that work ethic is one factor that impacts this. Maybe the only factor, maybe not.
Since the game marks players as in a slump or hot, I deduce that this coding runs in both positive and negative directions. (Many people have argued that in real life, hot streaks and slumps are statistically just the result of chance. I make no claims about real life, but the implication is that OOTP codes these things to happen artificially.)

A-HA!....Citing the manual!....What a concept!! (nice find, btw).
This is clear indication of streaks being coded. If they are not, then the bolded text should be removed from the manual.
