Small aside but some including me would have a problem with even using sports as a proxy. There's a school of thought in soccer that maintains that the best match is a 0-0 draw [1][2][3]. While the data reflects a completely unproductive match, a 0-0 draw means that both sides performed admirably in defending and in countering the efforts of the other side. There is very detailed stats in soccer too now, but, that doesn't weaken the point.
