Well no one's going to convince me that some pitcher is "consistantly" lucky for 10 or 15 years and even if he is "making better use of his defense" that is a skill he should be credited for [although I honestly think there's more to good pitching than that].
If OOTP6 compares strikeout to the league average to determine "stuff" that is a good thing from my point of view. But there's one problem. Because of the inverse relationship between setup screen league totals and actual league totals [you often have to set strikeouts in the league totals very high to get a very low actual total of strikeouts) wouldn't this skew results?
Anyway, like I said, I think DIPS probably has some validity although I don't agree with the extreme form which exists in OOTP and it does run into problems with quite a few pre-1960 pitchers. All I am asking for is either the ability to use the old engine without the editor [in order to allow its use in online leagues or a stat acknowledging that pitchers have at least some control over balls in play. That way everyone could get maximum enjoyment out of the game
