I really don't understand how and why you've come to that conclusion.

If the 2017 draft has 10% of players with a very high WE and 10 years later out of the players that made the ML from that draft, 20% have very high WE, you can conclude that WE does have an effect on development.

But if after 10 years, only 10% of those players that made it have very high WE, then you can conclude that WE has no effect at all.
