You keep making his argument for him.

If it’s at all subjective, then it can’t be objective.
But data in itself can't be subjective. The only thing that is subjective is the meaning of a high danger chance. The way they quantify high danger chances are from locations where a higher percentage of shot attempts go into the net. So in a vacuum these numbers show how many shot attempts happened from areas that we know a higher percentage of shots go in from. The only thing subjective about it is whether we should call them high danger chances or if we should call them shot attempts from areas where a higher percentage of shots result in goals.

And for the record I understand how flawed high danger chance measures are because all they account for is shot location and no other variable.

Well in a sense it is objective in that it objectively measures where shots are coming from. Yes, different models vary slightly. But that's still not really subjective. Subjective would be watching a chance and saying "I think that's a scoring chance" or "I don't think that's a scoring chance". The measures lean more heavily to objective than subjective.

Doesn't mean their objective data is right, but its still objective.
Nope.
