Roberto vs Al
G1911- here's your quote from post #44, in direct reference to OTHER
commenters' revelations about Roberto/Al's ratings in various systems:
" I do not subscribe to appeals to authority, something is not true or false
because an authority says so".
That is YOU, directly contradicting what you said was a "lie" in your most
recent post, point 3. In essence, while other commenters were showing that
rating systems revealed both players were ranked incredibly high, your reply
was to dismiss ANY rating system, especially one that revealed your
"overrated" remark to be the jackass comment it was. It looks like you
might need to read the transcript, Einstein...
Conclusion: both players are wonderful, first time HOF inductees. Some
prefer Al, others Roberto- which is just fine. The notion that any "best of
the best" players of all time(!) can be "overrated" is an absurdity that exists
only in the minds of people who never played or who, more likely, have too
much time on their hands. It is quasi- intellectual fluffery, nothing more.
Fluffery appears to be your sweet spot, but other folks will oppose it and
refuse to play by your schizoid rules. Trent King
