1) I'm a huge sports fan but It should always be recognised that sports are just a very elaborate way of generating random numbers.
2) That manager ratings table is a prime example of "Excel disease" - the default precision in Excel is 2 d.p. and most people just blindly cut+paste that spurious precision without any thought as to its significance.

Great post.
Two things:
1) I'm a huge sports fan but It should always be recognised that sports are just a very elaborate way of generating random numbers.
2) That manager ratings table is a prime example of "Excel disease" - the default precision in Excel is 2 d.p. and most people just blindly cut+paste that spurious precision without any thought as to its significance.
That's a really interesting point about Excel - I'd not thought of that before, but I'm sure you are right!
