But evidence isn't always black-and-white. I don't think there are many that dispute that Pioli has been a major disappointment in 2009. But the "evidence" that he won't get better in 2010 is basically opinion. It's an opinion about a future event. And right now, the only evidence is what Pioli has done in one season when he didn't have nearly the same extent of resources that he has right now. Any suggestion for how good/bad Pioli will be in 2010 is an opinion, because it is based on very minimal evidence.
