Why do Some Argue Against Skill Based MM?

I'm convinced the problem with WG is that they see randoms as their money making mode, and don't want any other successful mode to draw players away from it.
   So the statistics to measure skill and team balance aren't reliable, yet they use them to whine about balance, and as the means to "fix" the MM. That is just plain ridiculous.   Yes, I'm going to deride feelings when they are full of contradiction like the one above.     "You can't trust the statistics,!  We need to balance teams based on the statistics!"   I don't know what's going through your head, but it's still plainly obvious that you have no idea what you are arguing about.
