Quite apart from reflecting my own views, I'm quoting Trotsky here
to demonstrate one reason why some, at least, of the don't
want/don't care about stats are arguing agianst them, even when
their being there won't actively disrupt their games. There are
only a limited number of Gloranthan authors, and I'd rather they
spent their time working on stuff more genreally applicable)
