idk he's being pretentious as all hell but I'm not sure it's totally off-base.

He's really just using it as a synonym for "hypothesis", and I you see that usage all the time in scientific literature, whether or not it's technically correct. I've probably done it myself once or twice.


let's assume his opinion constitutes a model for a moment. models have to have a mechanism. what is the mechanism here?

in addition, how can his "model" be refuted? Secret and EG players are higher skilled, and it has nothing to do with the meta..ok so how do you back that up? what constitutes skill?

all he states is that western teams have won games in teh past 6 months, that's really it.

btw erasme, you think you could have linked a timestamp, frenchie? i was unimpressed bc you ate every skill up until you turned around and killed WR and mag. nice one.

I'm not defending his actual argument. I said it was a hypothesis, I didn't say it was a good or testable one. It's probably still a model though.

I suppose his mechanism is that quick adaptation is delivering better results than a generally higher baseline skill level. Again, not saying I agree with any part of that, or any of the underlying assumptions. The issue is with the assumptions, though, not on the technicality of whether or not it's a model.

This is far too much text for this thread.

ya but a hypothesis alone isn't a model. a model is used to explain something, e.g. western teams having more skill. he does nothing to illustrate that other than say "they win games" where you have a million different variables.
