You keep asking why points scored shows the better team when people are saying that points scored is a simple tie-breaker, you are still looking for the better team when they have managed to tie beyond likeliness, others are looking for a simple solution to untie irritating teams. It's a different approach of the problem, will you recognize that ? It's already the fourth tie-breaker after wins, walkovers and PD. Points scored is a simple concept, it shows on the league standings, it's practical.

So we agree the only reason points scored is used is because it is easy and practical. Ok...
How much harder and unpractical can the other approaches (the ones that make sense) be? It's not like the users even do anything to calculate. The programs calculate everything... All you have to be able to do is read, just like it is with points scored.
And don't tell me the other approaches are complicated.
