I don’t think tons really matter, unless he ends up with like 300 more then you could argue it matters a little (but not really). Winning scrappy frames is just as important a skill as making centuries. Not to mention 70s, 80s etc.

This isn’t as true as some people think.
Titles between Selby’s third and fourth WC:
Selby:
2017/18 - two (China Open, International Championship)
2018/19 - one (China Championship)
2019/20 - two (English Open, Scottish Open)
2020/21 - two (Scottish Open, European Masters)
Total = 7
Robertson:
2017/18 - one (Scottish Open)
2018/19 - three (Welsh Open, China Open, Riga Masters)
2019/20 - three (World Grand Prix, European Masters, Champion of Champions)
2020/21 - two (Uk Championship, Tour Championship)
Total = 9
So Robbo outperformed him but not by much ( “1/4 of a title” per season) assuming I haven’t missed anything.
How many more non-WC titles do you think would make ip for having only 3 WCs? Probably worth mentioning Robbo has two CoCs which is an invitational but definitely one of the bigger tournaments now.
