Snowflake RoyalURZZZZFrom Despair To Where? I think you're both missing the point. Statistics is a simple analysis of data. Putting conditions that are subjective and open to interpretation makes a mockery of that and putting a hair splitting scenario with a probability of happening of zero as an example does nothing to change that.
Maybe there was an uplift in performance becauee the players had an inkling Pauno was going? I don't know and frankly, I don't care.
The day that Pauno left and the day that Ince started is unarguable fact, everything else is presumptive waffle.

Yeah, it's commentary and context around the stats, not the stats themselves.
But your saying you're going to weight parts of the data set more favourably on the basis of a subjective condition that can't be measured.
