Agreed. The post isn't clear at all what his goal is, and the methodology makes no sense

Yeah. My first thoughts were that the methodology is extremely questionable. I know it's arguable that successive games aren't necessarily independent trials, but analyzing a game in terms of streaks, is so incredibly "un-mathematical" I don't know where to start. To top it off, there's no reasoning about why it might be the case that "streak" analysis might give insight into the why of things.
