>Implying 1 game is a better determinant of who is the better team than 38, 40, 50 or even 100 games.

But that removes all randomness from a scenario, so the teams that are already good are just going to shit on worse teams even more, making the sport completely boring as its just going to be "oh it's another X vs Y game, who cares about the World Cup this year."
And playing 50 games is going to be boring as fuck, with longer seasons and less bantz to make things fun for everyone.
