I am a physicist.
I have been trained in programming statistical simulations and analyzing data, also I do it on a regular base.
Just trying to show how complicated that issue really is.
On that example with those Aces.
Not all Aces are the same and that fact could also get abused.
- Some Aces are easier to play some are tougher.
- Some Aces can generate better value then others.
- Some win some lose
...
The answer is it's not meaningless, but to get really good quality we would have to go further into detail, which we might not going be capable of.
How are you going to get all the information ?
How are you going to get such a huge sample size ?
How are you going to deal with cards we don't see ?
Not every hand and board is going to be revealed to us.
You also have to assume that someone who is rigging data might not just put in arbitrarily values and could also run some kind of evaluation to check his output.
Just look back to the superuser scandal on UB back then.
They might never found out about it if the guy would not been so reckless and just constantly checked and adjusted his stats.
He just had to went into his own database look up some stats of several winning players and try to imitate them.
Also it was super lucky that they send them his hand history.
In other words you could totally get ****ed over and there is nothing you can do about it
