I agree that's what the Compendium is about, but after a point, it can get ridiculous.
Let's think sports here. I am a HUGE baseball fan. But sports show can get WAY too overanalytical from time to time. Take Dontrell Willis. The big thing about him is that, while he has had a spectacular first half, everyone was weary on saying he would win the Cy Young because stastistically, he always seems to have a bad second-half of the season. Ok, that's understandable. But then people start getting way too into stats so much, that it takes away from it and starts making no sense. For example, an actual stat I heard the other night:
"David Wright has the highest batting average in the National league, this year, with bases loaded, 2 outs, so long as he is playing at home, and batting in either the 5th or 6th slot." (And they also might have added "among 3rd basemen, nto sure though)
Wow, see, too in-depth, and that's looking at too much stuff, and in the end, doesn't really mean ANYTHING. I mean, its only a matter of time before someone brings up the fact that "x enemy is a better fire-user than Lucca because her fire spell only shoots out 6 balls fo fire as opposed to some enemy who has 7 balls of fire, but Lucca's does more damage so the fire is more powerful, but that's only because she has a higher level and you shouldn't be at that level at that point in the game, but yeah but she also has weaker armor on so it makes up for it, but you also used shield...." etc, etc.
