I guess it does not matter if you are playing fictional.

I've imported my game from version to version since v4 (2002) and have used whatever default is so.... I assume I have not neutralized stats. So by attrition my league is now totally fictional.
In any case to my mind I've never seen this double weighting as a real issue, or at least that doesn't have a major impact though I've done no statistical studies.
I like my stats, I'm good with math, but am not a real statistician, like some here, so maybe I'm wrong but here is my thinking. All of the parks operate in the same environment and that environment is heavily controlled by League Total Modifiers that provide "realistic" stats all within ~2-3% of my desired League Totals.
So with all parks operating in this "double" environment, statistically controlled with LTMs, why does double weighting matter? Isn't it a net zero difference? Have I over simplified it in my mind?
