With pretty basic statistics, and now with llms like Gemini, you can set rules around what a win and a loss is worth, based on the other team's record and or relative position. And then the discussion is over. Is just an algorithm, just like adding up two plus two. The problem with that is that then there's no release shows, no debate, and dumb people like me don't keep logging into chat boards to discuss and argue and try to make our case. They love it the way it is so they will conveniently ignore how easy it is to actually solve the problem.
