An egghead named Eurich did a pretty thorough study of the trait..95% of folks believe themselves to be self aware. Only about 10% actually are.
Hey, I know you all like to jump on the minutia of my Diaz hang-up, take it out of context and give all these examples you can run down to say. "hey dumb non-self-aware customer..this happens all the time in real life. You therefore have no credence to offer any opinions on this here forum. Those you do throw out will get poo-pood.".
Even though in my original thread I mentioned Diaz as the "final straw" of a culmination of many.
Look up the word microcosm when you go back and revisit self-aware. Diaz example is a microcosm of all that has been my experience with OOTP.

Your Diaz "example" is the epitome of the confirmation bias you constantly display in this thread. Epitome means "example of the average". See how words work?
A lawyer friend talking about something completely unrelated the other day told me "when you see hoofprints, assume horses, not zebras". Zebras here would be this idea that the game is "fixing results" in a randomized game. They have a game engine. They didn't write a special dcordash double engine. They don't have a special anti-dcordash modifier that only clicks in for dcordash while other players find the AI to be too easy to exploit and have to add extra handicaps to their play in order to not just win every year (or every other year since this is baseball after all). It's patently ridiculous and if you weren't so personally invested in doubling down on this, you would surely be able to see that.
