"Eye test" = "something I observe which I refuse to allow any external evidence to contradict"

And statistics in isolation are for people lacking a "feel" for the game (momentum, emotion, sense of something "weird" going on).  I would suggest that properly using statistical input involves realtime assessment of what is unfolding, i.e. "the eye test".  Or perhaps those who dismiss "the eye test" categorically feel that ultimately play-calling can be done w/ an algorithm.
