In response to mrjames
Because you associate probability with cause. There was still a substantial chance of Harvard winning or losing despite HCA. But on the court, they lost.
Sort of like the 2016 election. Probability was that Clinton would win. Didn't happen--didn't make the polls or probabilities wrong.
To attribute the losses to HCA is inaccurate. They surely would have had a greater chance to win at home, but still would have had a sizable chance to lose.
Again, however, your thesis will all come up for validation this year, as Harvard's best team on paper will get the home game.
