I think largely you just don't understand how normalization and league totals work, and how in small sample sizes (which are still thousands of PAs, especially with all the different confounding variables happening from game to game) you'll see a lot of difference. League would be far less fun if things were more consistent, and people would be complaining about always losing to the best players if that was the case

Great comment! Love it! The triple internet fallacy - claim of expertise, and appeal to authority and understanding that nobody could have, and finally the "you don't understand" fallacy. Appreciate you!
But I do want to say thank you to Matt Arnold for answering the call. Appreciate it, now we can just loathe our bad luck and not try to appeal to something hidden away.
