that pretty much explains it all. if you rely on feelings you will be fooled by randomness more often if you did not mix feelings and objective facts. that is the entire point of a larger sample size... you cannot tell with confidence in the absence of a suitable sample size. believing that you can is like believing in magic relative to the results you reported. i.e. they are not extreme outliers consistently occurring one after another. a little common sense of course, but that's a very small portion of situations when it's actually obvious.

Probably one of the best words of wisdom written on here in a while. In baseball especially, you have to be patient and not be so reactionary
