Obviously, Graham could care less about my opinion, but he might be surprised by my CV... or not.
Am sure your resume would be a pleasure to read amigo... if you scanned it and posted it online it would be the post of the month from my end :- ) ... just the same, if your resume said "ran jackhammer with no tardies for fifteen years" I would be not one whit less influenced by your analysis...

Graham's evidently a scientist himself, but if (on baseball) he were going to listen to other scientists only, he'd have his pick of himself, you, Pirata, Dr. Naka and two or three others. 
If natural-science and postgrad-math degrees were the coins of the realm, the buyers wouldn't be validating USSM's parking tickets, nor Jack Zduriencik's, for that matter...
Fortunately, that's not the coin of the realm.   Predictive validity is.  Winning pennants (or, on our level, roto leagues) is.

I notice that guys who scoff at 'detecto commentors' wisely stay behind the chain-link fence to do it.   :- )   They're aware that they're welcome to say their piece here, but don't.   Easier to call names than to back it up...

You've got the respect of the guys whose respect (presumably) means anything to you -- those who exchange ideas fearlessly, with sincere intellectual curiosity, and with emphasis on baseball as opposed to pecking order.
This is the place where Darwinian pressures have refined the ideas.
Great post Kelly.
