He's obviously an excellent player, so it's probably fine anyway, but still. I think that the real problem with this approach is that there ultimately isn't that much data [from a statistical perspective], so it isn't clear that averages should be trusted for such minute decisions as 1x Ponder. While 82 lists isn't nothing, there isn't any real statistical validity to it. Just like testing 10 game sets, you really have to go with the feel of it.
