So it isn't stripping strength, it is trying to account for it. Let's just say if you don't know what they do and how they do it (weighted by some way using some formula), we probably shouldn't be relying on it as a metric though.
I know what it does and how it does it..........
And by strip I meant it strips out opponents by creating a number that is opponent independent, which is used by a method of weighted average. I don't go in and audit their figures but I understand the basic philosophy behind how it is concocted.

I'm not trying to be ugly, but understanding what something is attempting to do versus understanding how something is actually done in statistics is EVERYTHING. No one said you had to audit it, but how and why things are weighted are crucial to understanding what you are looking at. Where can I find these numbers so one of us can actually understand them?
