I don't care if this guy is a Veitch. Bad analysis is still bad analysis. Trying to reduce pedigree analysis to a single number is an excercise in futility, whoever tries it. One would think that with all the data so easily available these days - I remember when to get a mare's produce record I had to look up each of the offspring's races and add up for each year - we would want to look at it all before making judgments. But, no, the customers of Roman or Werk or whomever want one number to describe the complicated and sometimes contradictory information in a pedigree. Boggles the mind.
