Byron...while I appreciate and respect your opinion/perspective, in my humble opinion, you will (@ least in the short-term) continue to maintain your personal focus on what you believe to be FACT, despite many others subscribing to a much different POV....
As with most endeavors, multiple viewpoints usually exist in some shape, way or form (i.e., the "potatoe/po-ta-to" tomatoe/to -ma-to" phenomenon). When that is the prevailing case, oftentimes it behooves us to maintain an open mind rather than having tunnelvision and living consistently (for the most part) as a relatavist. This kind of approach/mentality prevents many from improving themselves and/or their craft as life moves on. Despite my wagering proficiency (& this truth applies to each & every handicapper/bettor out there), I will always work dutifully & tirelessly....forever seeking ways to continuously optimize my craft (knowing that I will never achieve perfection). Anyone subscribing to a life of "constant & never-ending improvement" fully understands that there's ALWAYS something to learn. My goal(s) in this business has always been to learn something new every day....that is how I've always approached things personally--continue to improve and evolve....;o)
To that end, there are those of us who have the strong desire to never stop improving!!! Openly & honestly discussing forecasts, outcomes, etc...this represents the "meat & potatoes" of learning, growing, maturing, improving. While I will always know (& accept) that there are peeps who maintain greater expertise than yours truly, I also understand who to listen to. Unfortunately, many people do not follow this approach and, consequently, they periodically get burned because they hitch their wagon to a "chorus" singing praises of a particular selection. As long ad I have breathz, I will always encourage those people to always adopt the habit of throughly reviewing & evaluating everything....answering the query, "what went wrong/right" should fotever remain a valuable & indelible element of that evaluation.
BEST TO ALL!!!! ;o)
