rating players is dumb

I love the ranking exercises. They're objective and are fun to think about. Every now and then somebody throws in a fun stat like difference between a bowler's average and the overall average of batsmen they dismissed and it inspires great discussions. It gets tedious when someone with an obvious agenda starts bombarding the forum with pointless conveniently chosen metrics.
which hardly ever happens

Rating players is like life and (especially) music - there to pass the time in between important things.

I agree with the sentiment of OP but it's still something fun to indulge in. Dumb things can be fun.

I don't need to rate it, I'm living it. Suffice to say it's comfortably better than yours because I'm in it.
If we're rating life based on cumulative experiences then you should have most of us comfortably beat
