Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5300721, member: 12088"] You were doing so well there, until the last two sentences. Yes, preseason prophecy is not typically based on data analysis. It’s much more about optimism and exuberance. Can you picture some guy in a turban going into a reverie and quoting stats? “In my crystal ball I see a data table!” No, I’ll just ignore the insults, or maybe treat it as something Don Rickles might use in his act. Instead I’ll focus on the praise you give to Ash: she does a ton of stuff, much of which is not apparent from basic stats. I admire her, too. Always have. By the way, I do a ton of research for my novels. You’d be amazed what goes into one. I’ve got one based in the USNA, another set on an LHD stationed in Sasebo, another one set in Beijing and Wudang. The research is a lot of the pleasure in writing them. [/QUOTE]
