When a lot of fans compare their personal observations, it becomes more than a small sampling. I agree though, that in some cases a misperception of ability arises due to one or two events - "Merkle's Boner" for example. If you listen to Fred Snodgrass describe that event you will have an entirely different opinion of Merkle. He was apparently very baseball-savvy and McGraw went to him frequently to discuss things.
