High-end players in their respective domains likely know much more about how game balance works... in actual practice... than all of ZOS' spreadsheets and back-end analytics put together.

Except that this is not entirely accurate.
Anecdotal evidence from intuition will never be equal to perfect calculation, that said, perfect calculation is meaningless without verified anecdotal evidence, since it is forced to remain within the boundary of speculation until proven.
A "wise" person will use both analytics and experience,[snip]

As I've grown weary of saying, so many mistakes could have been short-circuited had they simply listened to the consensus of top players on hot-button balance changes. They routinely ignore it... and then over-correct at a later date.

Heh, overestimation of another's ignorance is a typical human fallacy.
