Fascinating. I'll take a look at my finished games here on MS and submit my data.
On a related note, how do you meta correctly? And how could it be used incorrectly?

To be frank, I'm too lazy to meta dive.In post 4, Mathdino wrote:Personally, the primary way I use meta is basically:
1. I observe a behaviour ingame that I think could be a scumtell.
2. I get paranoid, say to myself "I've seen town do that before..."
3. I go check up on their towngames. If they display the same behaviour, it's a nulltell (NAI). If I don't see the same behaviour, I become slightly more confident in my scumread.
4. If I wanna go further and I'm basically hopeless at reading a player otherwise, I can run stats on a player's towngames vs scumgames.
For example, I found an argument that I recognised from a player's previous scumgames. But they also used it in a couple towngames.
But they used it in a higher portion of their scumgames than their towngames over a large amount of meta. So even though it isn't DEFINITIVE, it can still be a scumtell in a Bayesian way.
