This is a fact, but some people are still unaware of it or are in denial, hence might be controversial.
In fact I think statistical analysis should be used much more in darts. There are lots of people (for example on twitter) who spend their free time compiling stats and analysis, so we might as well benefit from it instead of just treating them as "hey here are some nice numbers to look at". Players should use statistics for example to rethink their setup and outshot strategies, or to analyse their game and see where they need further improvement.

The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.

Not sure it's controversial but i've never seen it discussed in relation to controversy..
Andy Hamilton during his peak years was a bit of a Gerwyn Price light, aggressive and shouty presence on the oche with added pace gamesmanship (he was always slow but definitely slowed down even more when he deemed it necessary)

If Steve West was better at finishing, he'd be in the top 16.

His finishing is fine until it gets to the crunch, he's a self confessed mental midget.

Steve Beaton's throw is nothing special.

Is this because I said Henderson is 'overrated' ?

2) Challenge Tour should be Q School (More cards)
3) Players with Tourcards shouldnt play in the World Youth, And that should be under 21
4) Darts missing Phil Taylor more then people realise/admit
