I, too, have a "mathematical statistics education."

What bugs me is that all of the CCC bulletins seem to suggest that those who run
and evaluate tournaments look only at the win/loss statistics.  There is
considerably more information in a game score than just the final game result.

Throwing away useful information is what I call "blind adherence to statistics."
 One needs to rise above one's formal education and supplement it with good
thinking.
