And you will note that I acknowledge the ultimate goal is, of course, victories, but learning how statistics works is valuable. Not everything is a 0 or 1, black or white. And the same goes with wins and losses. Some losses are better than others, as are some wins. Understanding this, and specifically why some wins and losses aren't what they seem, allow us to understand the program and its trajectory on a more nuanced level.
I know you don't care. I know you're not going to look into metrics or try understand why they're interesting to some. That doesn't make them any less valuable.

As a famous man once said-you are what your record says you are. The problem with the metric folks is that you can lose all your games (or at least a majority) by a close score and still have good metric numbers. I’ll take wins over metrics any day.
