re: 2. Some systems are developed/sold by people with good intentions who honestly believe they have found a working system but either they don't understand statistics well enough to realise that it will fail in the end...

I agree with the statement that many systems are developed by picking the best criteria from a few years of stats and then are passed off as the best system ever, but please don't imply that that this sort of system would obviously have to be a losing system.
Almost every system has to rely on past stats, specially those that are based on form, because after all, form is based on past results and stats.
