Suppose that you’re the manager of an MLB team and it’s the bottom of the ninth of the World Series. You’re down to your last out. Do you go with the player who has a great career batting average but can’t perform well under pressure or elect the guy who had a relatively average season but consistently comes through in the clutch?
If you’re into baseball or just sports in general, the answer is obvious: you go with the competitor that contextually gives you the best chance to win. Ultimately, your job is to take home championships, not dabble with math exercises.
