But Dosage was a classic example of the over-statisticalization of the game based on overly small samples.

And Dosage was the grand-daddy of such theories-- a completely arbitrary, back-fitted theory that tried to predict something that had a tiny sample size.

Yeah well When I played B-Ball I would have been benched if I took a Curry shot. The game changed. I learned a lot from Dr. Roman.
