I understand why they have to have LTM's because it's far easier to suppress/inflate output than it is to adjust player ratings to create the desired output.
For my purposes, I will have to simply use a year that I want, auto calc once, and then leave it alone

The game has always worked this way, even before LTM's were added, except back then it was a huge pain to get the results right. That was back in the day if you wanted more HR's you had to decrease the HR league total.
Then LTM's were introduced but there was no autocalc. It was a huge step, making stat adjustment so much easier. IE you could do it by percentages.
Then autocalc was introduced to do it for you and all was right with the world
The default is 1.000 well, because it has to be something, right? Adjustments are made up and down from there to have your league produce the baseball world you want.
You can argue it's backwards, forwards, doesn't make sense (though I think it does) all you want but what you can't say is that it doesn't work. And isn't that the point? To be able to have a league that plays a realistic game? I'm not sure why you're bothered by how you get there as long as you get there.
