Robert, maybe I'm the one not being clear here.
Randomness is good, up to a point and if it is backed up by some kind of pattern. Right now, the choices we make when designing the cars do not affect the outcome of the races at all. Safe drivable cars commit driver errors which get them out of races. Unsafe, undrivable cars do make errors too, yet they are less likely to yield high damage rates. I would not be pissed if my car made normal driver errors, or if once it did it didn't go out of the race, but that doesn't happen. My data to be analysed is small and highly targeted at mine and norman's car? Absolutely. However, it is beyond me how our cars keep getting fucked. Say you, martin or absurdist have a driver error, you shrug it off, maybe go back to the pits, get it fixed and go back to the race. Me and Norman haven't had the change to do this yet. My car crashed with conan's in 50% of the events that have passed. I am in a terrible 30-something on the standings, because my car was thrown out of the race. Conan is on the top 10, despite similarly fast cars in qualifying, and I should be able to one up him because of my different tyre strategy. Anyway, on the two collisions I have had with his car, I have gotten out of the race, whereas he kept on racing, without even enough damage to warrant an extra pitstop, and that is despite his car having a safety rating of 1/3 of mine.
Also, saying I can't claim anything because I don't have data is pretty much saying that no one can never make assumptions and use logic. I do not have more data, but what I have is enough to prove that I'm right, or at least to make my suspicions valid.
