the game has changed and you have a couple of good points. I'm not saying those guys in the past were dumb, no way. But there are a few things that no one understood clearly until the advent of statistical research. Clearly they valued a single more than a walk in the past, moreso than the difference should be (correct me if I'm wrong there, maybe that is an incorrect assumption, and yes, a single is worth more than a walk, but not by too much). Even today there are many that don't understand some of these issues, the ones that don't understand it today given the availability of research are the dumb ones.
