Bob,
I sort of agree with Jerry, but disagree a little too.
My impression is that they believe both methodologies have pluses and minuses, but theirs is superior. They probably know that some figures they produce don't make much sense even though they would never admit it.
What it seems to me they don't want to do is get into a long debate over it by pointing out every figure from this side they believe is wrong too.
It generally degenerates into a bashing contest with both sides having a different reason why certain horses may or may not have run a certain way and neither side proving anything. Plus, IMO it's extremely difficult to communicate the issues to people that have never made figures.
So I agree with Jerry that they'd rather just post the figures and allow the issue to go away without discussing them. Personally, I would just like to see them. I've seen 4 sets so far and there's some disagreement on a few races.
