Adam,
 
Let's remember that I'm sharing information that's coming from
research data from qualified medical professionals.
 
There is nothing fallacious or sensationalistic about it. I'm conveying it as
is.
 
There is no faulty logic in the scientific process of evaluating injuries.

He was referring to the players with the most ice time having the most
injuries.
 
That would seem a given, however it's an important part
of the overall calculations.
 
In order to ascertain scientific results all information has to be included.
Playing time has to be included. The players that play the most are of course
the better skilled players. But, these researchers are looking for causes or
predisposition to injury.
When you consider skating techniques, fatigue, etc. every player, even the
better ones, possess different skill and pain thresholds. Those variables
affect your performance. So, it's not really so elementary. It's much more
complex.
 
I think you've drawn the beanbrain conclusion. What a messy deduction on your
part. Good thing we're not depending on you to come up with any break through
solutions. Obviously you don't understand injury evaluation in a scientific
way.
 
P.S. I'm really trying to be constructive here. I only counter-bash.
