there seems to be some emotion attached to whether one playstyle is more popular than another.
for some, it seems that's the key problem as opposed to the argument about whether any hard data exists. that "hard" evidence listed is far from 100% acccurate. i can think of numerous ways in which that data is skewed. playing time is the key... people create leagues on a whim, for testing, and for any number of resons that will cloud the 'real' answer to the question.
