I think there's a bit of logical fallacy or something going on there. Being as most people play with a certain set of scales, the observation that most victories occur with that set of scales is indeed uninformative/misleading. By contrast, the fact that Baalz has won games with unusual scales does show that it is possible to do well with such scales, which is the point he was making.

But that doesn't support 'refuting common wisdom on scales'. It's obviously possible to win with any scales and if you have enough people you'll find some who have won/done well with total garbage scales. It's essentially just the mirror image of the 'everyone uses X therefore it must be the best' argument and hence it's just as silly.
