To be fair, I'm the one who came to this conclusion long before the thread was up. Furious has actually been skeptical of it for some time, until he ran the tests he describes in the first post.
Almost all the questions/criticisms are ones that he and I had already discussed when I first told him what I thought.
I ran a test that responded to one question that I felt so far could be easily answered (non-2B turning DPs). I have zero problems with the questions but I don't understand why people aren't running tests that provide data or clear up issues that they think are still out there. Is it because they're not testable? I'm really not sure what kind of test you could run at this point, besides repeating Furious's test and hoping to get different numbers, that would show the double play rating is more significant than we believe.
What questions, besides deciding base lines for absolute minimal double play ratings are left to answer?
