OK, I don't agree, but let's say I concede the point. A fan can take a slice of time, a subjective view of a players effort and determine not only the reason the team is losing, but the players future as well. So what does it accomplish to discuss these "truths"? Is it a need to assign blame? Do we think the player and/or coach can not improve without our insight? Do we think the fans can or should vocalize the "identity" of the program? Does that help in recruiting? Players come and go, fans come and go, perceptions of a school linger.
