Quoting Stats- Board Protocol

Why do people never paste a website link to the stats, when quoting them from a 3rd party source? 

The exact page and part of the page would be more reliable. Maybe a brief copy and paste of stats, with a link to the rest of the page for more detailed supporting stats

1. Many of these stats websites disagree with each other even marginally- some are more accurate than others.

2. If a poster wants their stats to be accepted as taken verbatim from an objective 3rd party stats website, this would add more credibility to their arguments.

Seeing posters disagree with each others stats they have copied from who knows where- it is hard for other posters to validate either argument. 

3. The 3rd party stats would also provide comparative stats of the opposition as well as team mates to provide more context to the game.

4. It would give the other posters the ability to also interpret the stats, and more context to these stats.

I do not know how I missed out on that one - and already apologized for the mistake made.   I copied the stats onto an empty document on my computer nd then used the calculator to add it up - that is where I made a mistake and I grant you a bad one at that.  

I was not deliberately dishonest - I must have done something terribly wrong and admit it and apologized already.   

However - I take serious exception to your comment about being inherently dishonest and cannot accept that from a person who distorts things beyond comprehension in any event.
