Title is pretty self-explanatory. Getting points for losses creates a false impression that parity is close within the league. When in reality the league's have's and have not's isn't close.
The loser point gives the impression that league's "parity" by rewarding points for losses, to give false reward's to keep fans tuned into the end of the season with hope that a bad team sneaks into the playoffs. And if this does happen, the team is trounced by a actual good team in the first round. Fan's of said team are hopeful and happy via cognitive bias and league wide more people watch games at the end of the season.
The loser point is a illusion. It's meant to strong Fan's along the end of the season. Instead of most of the league tuning out to games 70-82 unless your one of 3-4 bubble team's.
