I'm mostly interested in why people choose to dismiss this information as 'evidence' that we are genuine premiership contenders, and go with their emotional response on a week by week basis and contend that we are not a genuine team.

Is it that the non believers see it as 19 relevant data points to fit a particular narrative?

Statistics are cold emotionless bits of data, you get enough of these bits of data to form a coherent analysis of where we are at.

The data (or is it data?) bodes well.
