This is why advanced stats are junk. Who counts "shots directed towards the net"? Who determines "shot quality" and how much that is "adjusted"?
Subjective non-sense.
To each their own I guess but, advanced stats provide a more precise understanding of the broader game.
It allows us the ability to attain a level of insight into a team or player that can't be gleaned from sporadic viewings.
The numbers can see every game and provide a better idea of how a certain team or player is doing than by going off past viewings, hearsay, the odd shift, or, worst of all, reputation.
The more statistics that are available, and the better those statistics are at
measuring value, the better the insight. That's why some advanced stats are better than goals, assists, plus-minus, etc.
They get you closer to an all-encompassing understanding of a game in a sport that tends to be dictated by selective viewing.
