r or f WAR are set data. They aren't changing based on the person calculating them. Go create a new one if you feel differently, but these formulas aren't changing.

Here, you are trying to impose rules on a fictitious "wild west" sports debate. There is no logic that is going to be used in this scenario. People are going to use whatever supports their point. It will still be a person's subjective opinion.
I'm not imposing any rules. Just be aware where people are coming from when they deliver information.

Created fact? Lol! So if I give a cashier a dollar & get a quarter back in change, if I say " I have 25% of my money returned to me" I have created a fact? It isn't just a fact? Lol! Dude! OR how about this....I get 33 answers wrong on a 100 question test, I can say the teacher's grade of 67 was their opinion, not a fact? Come on, man...........
That's a fun attempt to twist.


rWAR is a set formula. Your attempt to dismiss this by giving an extreme example which is no where close to what I was saying is downright silly and unnecessary.


rWAR's formula doesn't change. Nor does batting average, or the change you get at the supermarket.
