Okay, sheesh... since some people don't get it, when people talk about stats working and not working, just pretend they said work well instead of work.
Yes, the stats do things but nothing noticeable when they actually matter so who cares if they actually 'work' when they aren't really doing anything that someone would care about for the most part.

Now that that's out of the way, I just hope the changes to them will be enough.
