And don't you realize that's why statheads hate W-L numbers.
W-L numbers are like calculators, and advanced stats are like Excel.
If I don't have Excel, of course I'd have to settle for calculators. However, when we have both, listening someone keep talking about using calculators is really annoying when you can do a lot more powerful stuff with the easily-available Excel. It's not really statheads' fault that not everyone knows how to use Excel.
