To reply to Kasz without having to trim the quote tree:

 

You're oversimplifying. It would be physically possible to have a contest of shooting skill and reasonably replicate the variables surrounding it in a controlled environment. It is impossible to do so for Presidential Administrations, or indeed for any historical anything (like saying: Hitler would've kicked Stalin's ass if it weren't for X or Y. Sure you can say that, but you have zero ability to prove it). You can't refine all variables down to a point and level the playing field to compare presidents objectively. It's based purely upon the positives, and anything else borders on revisionism
