I'd wonder why...after all it's only a mathematical formula...I would begin wondering if it was based on ratings rather than numbers, but I would have zero evidence to that fact.

How could ratings be used to calculate war?

No offense, but that's just nonsense.

As long as it differentiates players at a position properly (offense and defense), then it has some value. I don't need to know the secret sauce formula, but I will somewhat disregard WAR if it isn't fairly accurate in terms of player value.
