huh? I mean we are playing a stats game though and the very core. We put numbers in(attributes, strats, lines), and numbers come out. Its not like we flip a switch so that stats go "oh its a simulation of professional sports, lets throw out the 15 goal games and try again". We give them inputs, the engine does its thing and gives outputs. And it gives outliers, which we see with 15 goal games, 14 goal games, etc. The fact that it happens 0.05% of the time means its an outlier. It can happen. Just because you don't think it will happen doesn't mean that it can't
