Ernie Dahlman, who is a primarily a trip and information handicapper (and also believes in class, or used to), once told me he thinks ground loss is overrated. He's been winning a long time, although I don't think that's why.
My own view is that, like drafting, there may be something to it, but it's hard to see how you could measure it or do something with it in the figures. I don't think it can be a significant factor (in terms of lengths/points) because the figures wouldn't come out as tight as they do-- but for all I know they would come out even tighter. The two sides of the house I can see are white.
