They aren't, in order to get the % wins or losses, you have to divide the
number thereof by the *total number of matches*, ie, you add the wins and
losses of each sumotori and divide their number of wins by that number.
That way you won't get negative % (???)

Actually, you will find it is 74.68% *lifetime* but I suspect if you just
look at the bassho from the last year or so, it will be much higher,
probably >90%

"It is cheap to assert that the media makes Brown look bad," Josephson
said. "Brown makes Brown look bad. If you believe the University looks bad
because of ABC, then you believe that the world is flat. The ABC report
indicated the truth, as if we didn't already know it."
