I didn't say disproves at all, except to try to help/correct your English.

2002-03 rs; Robinson +10.5 NRtg / Duncan +9.2 NRtg
I'm sure Robinson was the better and the more impactful player in 2002-03 as well.

Fwiw, I never cited single players raw oncourt numbers being better by a tiny margin to assert "more impactful" over a season whilst playing circa half their minutes with a way worse on/off.

Given this and the tone it feels like either you didn't understand the points made and/or take any critique as a personal affront. In either case I don't see further conversation as fruitful.

I was talking from statistical POV, that’s why I chose the word distort over disprove. I wasn’t talking about conclusion, I was talking about the sample set.

Though I’ll say this about the following part of your message, blowback has an offensive meaning in my native language. And it caused some wrong interpretations. So, sorry about my uncalled aggressive attitude.
The issue with per75 numbers;
36pts on 27 fga/9 fta in 36 mins, does this mean he'd keep up the efficiency to get 48pts on 36fga/12fta in 48 mins?
The answer; NO. He's human, not a linearly working machine.
Per75 is efficiency rate, not actual production.

To distort someones point (the phrasing used) would be misrepresent it.
