Sorry when was Boak ruled out? Must have missed that. Oh well, that trade-in continues to be a winner.

Sometimes it's not scaling, it's just catching up with missed acts.
I can't imagine anything more fun than collecting these stats (don't think I could give up my day job though, and would I then have to stop playing fantasy?).

How would I even try to remain impartial... lucky I am not involved in the stats collecting, huh? Would anyone really be surprised to find out that there were some shenanigans in the scoring over the years? I mean, what sort of impartial human can do this scoring?

Would me off to find out in the future that someone was riggin it, but, as I enjoy this a heap, until then, I will just complain and whine and hope that if there are some miscreants playing with the numbers that they get sorted out in the end.

Would anyone beyond fantasy addicts care enoughto do anything about a few misplaced stats?

Yes, sometimes. Can normally tell that's the case when they jump like 5 points in one go. When it is going up (or down) by 1 every min, that seems more like scaling to me.

Ineligible to win any prizes for SC, so only incentive would be cash leagues.
SC least important use of data recording and thus would have little bearing on collection and possible distortion.
Team of people both at game and offśite reviewing passages, etc to correct errors.
Scaling and scoring would be algorithmic and not based on any whims.
Gamblers would be the only other group outside of fantasy addicts that care but I gather these overlap.

Interesting.

Hardly seems a comprehensive defence against the manipulative intelligence of the human mind though, does it ...

I reckon it couldn't be too hard to rig it if in a position of collection. Thnakfully it's all so transparent... oh ... wait...

Go Lions by the way
