I would like you to say a number because I would know the discrepancy of our disagreement. From my perspective, you do not hold any opinion other than me being wrong. Don't tell me my opinion is wrong if you aren't willing to give yours (and yes even though it can't have perfect predicting value, you have an opinion, you chose not to share it, or you refuse to think it through because you ardently want to avoid to share it).
I agree, my methodology indeed is not "scientific" in any absolute sense, but you or scouts gut feeling based on the information they have and their ability to reason isn't scientific with absolute predicting value either, so that point isn't proving that my methodology doesn't have any value, neither does it suggest that it has less predicting value than the standard approach that wouldn't use computational assistance.
Why would I attempt to project points in the OHL? There is no value in trying to predict what numbers he would have had in the OHL supposedly? If you can't compare stats between leagues by adjusting them, stats have absolutely no value. 100 points in the OHL is as good as 2 points in the AJHL because no one knows what the player in the AJHL would have done in the OHL, you just can't tell with certainty, is 2 points in the AJHL worth less than 100 points? "that is something none of us can predict" with certainty, "you can't extrapolate", one simply can't argue with that, and if you argue with that you are necessarily wrong because you just can't know for sure, you might be overlooking so many things, therefore, I am so wise to restrain from having any form of opinion. JFL. How dare you assume that "Harder league automatically means less individual points." or vice versa. Everyone does this all the time in their head because it gives more perspective to those numbers. Don't need to discredit things through disingenuous reasonings because it happens to come out of my software which you don't believe in (and also, I am quite sure, because you happened to disagree with the results).
Your point that you can't respect the prediction it produces because you don't know how I got there is a valid point. Some appear to give it some level of respect based on the lists it produces (other like you do not, which is fair), time will give us the answer whether it has predicting value or not because the results will speak for themselves. The prediction about Caufield in the OHL could be wrong but it could also certainly be telling within a certain range if it is well programmed. I'd like to tell you how it exactly get to those numbers, but as you can't tell me exactly and with certainty why you prefer the color blue over the color red because there are too many variables to take into account throughout your life, I can't tell you how because they are literally dozen upon dozen of formulas that have been written in the algorithm, so I couldn't tell you the exact "reason, logic" unless I gave you the algorithm, I could develop more to an extent if you are interested and have questions about it though. (it can't do for Wisconsin)
I guess it is better to leave it there, it would be preferable to look back on this years from now at this point because, as I said, the results will show whether the software has reasonably strong predicting value or it is poorly programmed which leads to erroneous predictions, at this point none of us has the definitive answer on this. Having said that, you still could have typed of a couple of numbers on your keyboard.
