I said (and this is assuming you were replying to my post) MY ideal engine for a reason. And about Sabermetrics, how many teams have hired Voros and James? There are some teams that still haven't bought into the idea completely (I'm not in their front offices, so I wouldn't claim to know how many).
And also, I generally agree with the direction DIPS takes us, and only posted to suggest that just because it is the most current theory does not mean that it is completely, 100% correct.

No, I wasn't aiming this at you (I should use quotes more). It was in response to JamesOOTP opening volly of DIPS being "ridiculous". As a side note, I'm not saying DIPS is perfect. I certainly think the exceptions can eventually be coded into the mix for more accuracy - but it's certainly better than the old engine.
