Oh, hi. I'm an engineer, student, madcap, songwriter, and Homosapien from St. Louis who, after travelling quite a bit, is now located on the east coast.
Baseball-related factoid:
So Taguchi is the all-time MLB leader in 'Taguchi-ness', a statistic that rejects definition or Bill James' affirmation.
...
Example Scenario:
Person #1: "Skip Schumaker has to be between a 1.2 - 2.5 in weighted Taguchi-ness."
Person #2: "Not necessarily. Taguchi was so Taguchi that he's basically incomparable. That's why only he has that statistic on Fangraphs."
Person #1: "Oh, I see. You're taking the piss."
