Homer: Not a bear in sight. The Bear Patrol must be working like a charm.
Lisa: That’s specious reasoning, Dad.
Homer: Thank you, dear.
Lisa: By your logic I could claim that this rock keeps tigers away.
Homer: Oh, how does it work?
Lisa: It doesn’t work.
Homer: Uh-huh.
Lisa: It’s just a stupid rock.
Homer: Uh-huh.
Lisa: But I don’t see any tigers around, do you?
Homer: Lisa, I want to buy your rock.
What does this Simpsons moment remind you of?
The speed of the game has gone up.
The amount of injuries has gone up.
The amount of interchanges has also gone up.
So therefore interchanges must cause injuries! WRONG!
SPECIOUS REASONING!
CORRELATION DOES NOT IMPLY CAUSATION!
How can a system that will cause more cases of a tired player colliding with a fresh player REDUCE injuries? Even soft tissue non collision injuries will not be reduced because you will have players who are tired and their bodies are weaker and are more prone to injuries. The fresh players won't slow down for them, they will still need to keep up with the pace of the game.
Can someone please point to an injury that was caused by the increased speed of the game. I.e. an injury that 5 years ago would not have happened?
Show me a list of clubs with the most injuries and how many rotations they have.
