I'm not imposing any rules. Just be aware where people are coming from when they deliver information.
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.

It is still subjective. One calculates it different from the other. If there is no standard, if there is no agreement then it is still opinion. fangraphs may have set way of calculating it, but it is their set opinion that it is the best way to figure it. Same for B-R. All it means is they aren't willing to change their opinion.
No one has changed their opinion on how to calculate BA. It is standardized. It is agreed upon. All the websites calculate that FACT the same way. It is not a creation. It is.
