Sure...it was definitely overstatement. People think doing it strenghens their argments, but it actually does the opposite.
I understand what you are saying here.........
While the true % is well under 50% of actual skids happening, the funny thing is that it has happened enough (in a number of critical situations) that every time those shots come up in a game I get that feeling inside that I'm 50/50 on this shot skidding costing me the game or possibly the match.
