Hi Raider,
You certainly put the time in attempting to quantify variance and consistency.
A question for you.
How would you view your DI journey if you didn't go through that effort to understand variance and consistency regarding your toss?
I don't see how I could have done anything else but look at variance. Think of the toss like an engine and BT like a diagnostic machine, Taking the motor apart won't make you a better driver but you might be able to tinker with it and get a few more MPH. I remember starting out, tracking all of my practice and the emotional roller coaster. This time I am not doing any serious tracking until I hit my training goals. I will use tracking to measure my progress, in small steps. If you as good as you will get, you have no need to track, if you want to get better,
track with a purpose. The SRR is the measuring stick of DI skill, but I don't think it should be the only one.
By hand or session tracking you have more information about how you toss and it lets you look at your progress in a shorter period of time than it does to get statical confidence in your skill. I don't know how anyone else but my first 5k rolls were junk. Maybe there are DI Gods who get to a high skill in under 5k rolls, but I am not one of them. So why track those? Do a Base line of 720 at 5k, then 10, look at what has changed.
Taking tracking apart made me realize the tracking should not be practice, it should be looked at independent of tracking. Practice is not training, and should be looked at as independent of Practice. Practice games, guess what, independent of all of the above.
If trying to do the same thing the same way leads to reproducible results,
Then variance and consistency should be reproducible.
After all, we all are just seeds in our own RNG.
