I think that is absolute nonsense. There is no way that figure is even remotely true unless you are watching 7 year olds in the playground or are using a definition of the word “fluke” that the rest of humanity does not recognise.

You clearly have no understanding of the game, you obviously have not comprehended what little you have seen and your impressions of it can be safely ignored.
