Over a year ago. The logic class was taken 5 years ago.
Just as a note: I'm also one of those who hate people misusing stats.
The hopefully shorter and less nuanced version:
Conclusions based off statistics are only as sound as the assumptions behind them. As assumption that a higher career completion percentage by itself, no matter how small the difference, is not a good assumption for variety of reasons, including a few statistical ones.
What usually passes for "analysis" of statistics in usual football conversations is not really statistical analysis at all, and the fellas doing it would get slaughtered by those "in the know".
