Even with what is pretty clearly (based on the percentages) a very lenient group here, nobody even cracked 70% ... so how far off are the writers really?

The difference is that the writers are the ones that created the logjam. Let's go back and revise the list based on guys who should be in the Hall already. For example, give us last year's list and I'm pretty sure Bagwell and Raines are off it already.
