The failure of WN8.

Dakiras: Indeed, but then we're getting a little off-topic... only
slightly, though. So, there is a bit of an issue with
regards to people's attitudes when stats are involved; as though
stats are the be-all-and-end-all of validity for someone's
argument. While they provide a good indication they are
not to be the sole judge of someone's skills. WN8 is largely
incomplete and not perfect, but then no scoring system is ever 100%
accurate. They give an estimated guess at someone's success rate,
and how well the can pull their weight. Beyond that, it should
never be the sole criteria of weighing someone. While WN8
could perhaps be improved, this is something that will be done at
the discretion of its creators. If you've a mind of statistical
analysis and have an interest in this stuff, I would say get your
head into the API and work on formulating some kind of algorithm
yourself since it might be helpful to the community. If you can
come up with a fair way of calculating someone's overall
performance, great! If not, well, then you will have to remain with
the rest of the community and hope that WNx is improved over time.
