It’s not vague. It’s pretty clearly defined thing.

Nor is anything arbitrary. But apparently, only your critics need to use precise language.

Besides this, WEP only documents the events that happened. LI looks at the most dramatic events that could impact game.
If you only use WEP to make arguments about leverage...you’re just doing a stats-based version of hindsight or…

Gut feelings are the definition of arbitrary.
If you have a problem with the methodology behind LI, let’s hear it.

Until then I’m going with the people with a scientific method, who are interested in understanding how the game works, over the guy with a gut feeling and an axe to grind about a particular internet…

Because...what are we going to learn that we don’t already know? I mean MAYBE we find evidence that aliens shot her down, and that would be interesting. But mainly all we’re gonna do is add the final 2-3 pieces to ajigsaw puzzle that we already know is a picture of an adorable red panda. Adding those pieces to the…
