Correct. The value of statistics like these come in making generalizations, which require massive data sets to be applicable (hence generalization rather than specialization). It's akin to in baseball, an average of x% of pitches are hit for home runs. This will likely be fairly accurate over the course of the season across all players, but would not be a useful stat to look at in predicting what a pitcher would do at the plate (or an MVP level hitter for that matter).
