You're being entirely too reasonable. I do think that's what happened here, but it's just the perfect apex of advanced stats in baseball: it's a number that appears to be directly comparable to another but is in fact a randomly-weighted mishmash that is weighted that way specifically so it appears comparable to ERA. Any utility it has when used appropriately is far outweighed by the dangers of its prolific misuse by people in the media who don't understand what it actually measures, which has now occurred. In other news I WANT TO YELL ABOUT STUFF!
I'd like to think I am reasonable.
I too, though, have a long list of stuff that makes me want to yell at the screen and break stuff. The obsession with "pitch framing" that so many people seem to have, for example. And I absolutely hate the obnoxiousness of the Brian Kenny's of the world who sit around cherry-picking various newfangled stats and patting themselves on the back for their 20/20 hindsight.
