That's not what the author said.
If you go towards the end of the book and look at his blinker section Meadows says:
"If a horse requires blinkers its generally a negative sign, since many horses race quite competently without them. Blinkers indicate problems. The trainer is grasping at a solution which may or may not work".
You say (above) blinkers are "often a major improvement" according to Massa and Meadows
But according to Massa's numbers from the book its a losing angle
B's on .70 ROI
B's off .82 ROI.
This is an example of common knowledge any horse player with around one year experience can deduce without stats.
