So I'm not so ignorant as to write off any statistic that compiles those stats into a more useable form for a short discussion just because I don't agree with part of the formula. I'm smart enough to look at the WAR formula, recognize where I disagree with it, and discuss it's shortfalls on a particular player with specific stats that I think are more relevant. If you aren't smart enough to do that, then go ahead and just dismiss any discussion involving WAR outright. But if that is the case, I seriously question your ability to compile those basic stats into a valid and relevant conclusion by yourself in the first place.
