It wasn't just rushed at the end, it was tamed early on. In the books the heel turn is a slow burn that's telegraphed from the beginning, because we can read her thought processes. In the show she's righteous badass until she isn't.

Honestly, he simply moved on from it. Even before the show began. He's been writing a lot, even stuff extending this universe. Just... this epic doesn't seem to interest him as much. I think that for him, writing it is more work than fun. So it doesn't get done.

I think this article shows how there are lots of reasons why people might sour on analytics, not just one thing.

But in the sense of bogeyman, where people just blame any ol' thing gone wrong on analytics, that's probably just people trying to make their personal taste sound like grandiose principles.

As far as decision-making goes, we have to remember that what the algorithms feed you is which choice leads to the (marginally) higher addition to expected win outcomes based on average games with teams and average players. It doesn't tell you anything about the game you are actually in, the state of the players, the crowd, the season/conference/rival game on the line, etc.

It can't be like poker, where you can just ride the odds to better results... hell even in poker you get bad draws, cold tables, lousy nights... and in football you are never holding the nuts.

You can't disprove Newton and Einstein: They definitely existed.

You can disprove their theories of gravitation, though.

That might seem nitpicky, but it's important that we follow the science, not the scientist. Otherwise we can pack it in
