A 2-4 Superbowl tote Broncos be less impressive than a 1-1 Chiefs: 50% KC > 33% DEN.

Too, that the Texans also won a Championship in ’62 before Superbowls cannot be overlooked (the AFL Champion Texans had/have just as much right to call themself World Champs thence as the NFL team did arbitrarily without any qualms or sans any game to determine said/they vs the Texans.

Too, it took the Broncos 5 Superbowl games/tries to win the 1st; the Chiefs won in their 2nd try.

Was Marty Schottenheimer a great coach because he got his team ‘there’ (post season not Superbowls) so many times – only to lose?

It’s not unlike some saying a Barry Bonds is a better homerun hitter than Ruth because he ‘got there’ a greater # times (hit more homeruns.)

Is Bonds better than Ruth?

No, he is not.

Semantics & subjectivity being the realm of the pious, logic tells us that ‘placing’ more often as does having ‘more’ opportunities does not the final analysis dictate ‘more’ success; just also ran status sans the ultimate final victory.

Many runners run and many horses place but only one can conclude Champion.

Jim Brown’s 5.2 career yards per carry average makes him a better runner than an Emmitt Smith despite Smith’s having gained more yards than Brown (6000+ ‘more’ yards.) That Smith needed 2000+ ‘more’ carries (about a 2.95 average) is ‘more’ telling, my opine.

Ditto for DEN having ‘more’ opportunities KC.

‘More’ does not necessarily equate with ‘greater’ in and of itself. One can say Bonds (as with the Broncos)was more ‘prolific’, hit/won more than a Ruth/Chiefs.

But that it took DEN 5 games to win their first and a 6th game to win but their second doesn’t impress me per se. Similarly, that Bonds needed 837 ‘more’ atbats (extra tries) than a Ruth got to even ‘tie’ the Babe at 714 homeruns does not impress me. When Bonds had the same 3 of atbats (opportunities) as Ruth, Ruth had 714 homeruns and Bonds had 95 less, or only 619.

Career, 1448 more atbats for a Bonds than a Ruth equates to only 48 more homeruns the former.

More? Bonds/Broncos.

Better? Ruth/Chiefs.

Tomorrow: we shall discuss the Collatz problem & Lehmer’s Mahler Measure Problem.
