Since you're talking about scummy behavior and miscommunication, I'd like to point out one place that TFA does so:
> Under completely unrealistic assumptions, G42D8 improves the chances of winning by less 1%. If there is any uncertainty in these calculations at all, then you might even be putting yourself at a disadvantage!
This is implying (without out saying) that a tiny error in e.g. the probabilities of converting a 2 point conversion will make things a disadvantage. After all, what if there's only a 46% (instead of 48% from Ms. Albert's article) of making the 2-point conversion, that must surely lower your win chances by more than 1 percentage point, right?
The answer is "of course not" becuase that just lowers the win probability by a tiny absolute amount as well. In fact this can be seen in the flow-chart that TFA hates so much. The author is either being scummy and disingenuous, or has confused himself by mixing relative and absolute percentage changes.
