the comment by Deitch was they won more games iwth Howard, and he showed the wins. Shore puts up the line showing Howard outperformed his replacements, thus showing a correlating factor to why we perhaps won more games with Howard in the lineup. anything else is extrapolation on your part.
Yeah. Howard's line was 21.5 games better than his replacements. Exactly. His line is maybe 2 games better, leaving almost 20 unexplained wins. It's not a correlation, it's a coincidence.
