I've had a go at saying this before a couple of years back.....nobody thought I was lucid then, but I'll try again anyhow.

The thing is with any systematic approach is that it doesn't take into account the flipping obvious. I've got nothing against system requirements as a theory, but it is simply far too simplistic to rule out any race because of such and such. In the same way it is far too simplistic to rule out any runner because of some rule that you might have discovered gave you a better strike rate or whatever.

All system inputs should be treated as indicators perhaps but not as stand alone judicial criteria. The minute you start treating these inputs in a black and white sense then you will tend to end up with what everyone else ends up with. That will lead you to a poor dividend to strike rate ratio.

I hope there's someone here that doesn't think I'm still standing too close to the exhaust fumes.
