Why? For the same reason it's James->Jim (and not Jam), William->Bill, Nathaniel->Nate, Richard->Dick etc. etc.. Linguistic tradition, that's why.

It's not as clear-cut as "he does" or "he doesn't" .
Like Mark has said before, Toine wants to help the team, but he wants to do it HIS way. I just think that his way is usually the wrong way (because of the "cherry-picking" thing and the way it distorts the team's lineup); you think he's "sometimes going about it int the wrong way". Does he consciously realize what he's doing? Probably not. But it doesn't matter - the effect on the W-L column and the growth of the team is the same.
