This is not really a controversial or even particularly novel analysis if you have read any biography of Napoleon and it approaches the consensus read on his military performance. The data on win rate is also not going to tell you why his performance was so high. It's not going to explain the strategy of the central position (CTRL-F for the term in the article and get 0 results) or the political reasons as to why Napoleon often enjoyed a manpower advantage. It's also kind of inappropriate to judge generals on the same basis as you judge sports coaches. Sports leagues do their best to regulate competition somewhat to prevent single teams from dominating forever (and don't always succeed). Nations in warfare do whatever they can to grant themselves overwhelming and uneven advantages over opponents. Certain military forces are not necessarily 'underdogs' even if they are outnumbered. See the US in any major conflict after the Civil War.
