But even the claim that aggression has increased in past decade isn’t verifiable to public unless you’re “in the know”.
@CurlingMath @mattydunstone28 @curling@grandslamcurl@Guertez ... decisions are made instinctually that are multi-variate, complex, and entirely dependent on the moment at hand. Bin sizes are always n = 1 in present and predictive value of past scoreboard data has much less value than is being presented and popularized.
@CurlingMath @mattydunstone28 @curling@grandslamcurl@Guertez The most useful two graphs as a general framework to teach people scoreboard management 101 are published in your book. Historical Win Expectancies in men’s and women’s games. These numbers have the potential to serve as a useful Bayesian prior but...

The term “analytics” is tossed around and talked about so much as if there is predictive value written in stone.
