Re: Dr. Bob -- sharpshooter fallacy?
I don't suscribe to Dr. Bob's plays, so I have little experience reading his write-ups or seeing his reasonings. But of the few I have read, he seems to cross-reference his data-mining with his power rating results, and uses the two together. In that sense, it isn't nearly as bad as other people that just data-mine without respect for the line (i.e., treating all favorites the same, regardless if they are -1 or -15...or if their power ratings show the fave should be a bigger fave or lower fave).
I wouldn't be thrilled to book Dr. Bob's plays.
