IMHO, this question makes sense only if: 1) you
know how those ballparks worked IRL, and you're frustrated by the game's not making it easy for you fix things; or 2) you're convinced that other people
know how those parks worked, and they failed to do the job or were ignored. If it's #1, you're best strategy is to provide convincing statistical evidence that the game is getting it wrong.
My view is that Garlon and Markus took their best shot at implementing the available knowledge. What they didn't do was make their method readily transparent to the rest of us. It's possible that there was no simple method for doing that -- and understandably no desire to implement a complicated method that then required extra user support and software maintenance.
