Absolutely. I know neither of these can be proved. I was responding to 
his assertion that I had to show that lineup dependency does exist,
but he didn't have to show that it doesn't. His assumption seems to be
that his position is true until I show it false.

Recall my earlier statements that stats cannot prove anything (either
pro or con), and that this whole controversy is merely a matter of
opinion.
