After that, no. It is like what they have done to baseball. There are so many statistics they have come up with that I have no clue what they mean. And right on cue, somebody sets a new record that I don't understand but it is historic. I long for the generation before mine, the Greatest Generation. Nothing they did was historic, it was just their job and they would tell you that.

True words.
My thought is that all other things being equal, people should be picked for tasks based not on what is between their legs, but what is between their ears.
