When people discuss fish cube actions, they often say things like, "This position is easy for X to play" or "this position is easier to play out for X than for O." I'd be curious to know if these claims can be backed up by statistics. That is, I'd like to know how well the total amount of equity lost by each side (note that "total amount of equity" is different from PR) actually correlates with people's predictions.

I know that I'm not very good at predicting what sorts of decisions I'm going to get wrong, and I suspect that when people claim that a position is going to be "easy to play," they're often underestimating how much they're going to blunder when they actually play it out.
