This is correct, but given that XG is so fast, and that you can turn off VR when doing a rollout to collect such statistics to speed things up further, I believe that you could run enough trials in many cases to get meaningful numbers. This would be very valuable. To cite just one example, I don't think there's any other reliable way to get a handle on cube efficiency.

The current practice of trying to read pseudocubeless numbers like tea leaves seems ridiculously primitive and I don't understand why I haven't been able to get people to realize this. One day I'm sure it will all seem as obvious to everyone as it does to me now, but the first step is to get the feature into the bots.
