empirical enough?

There are 20 planets in the top 20. There are 2707 planets not in the top 20 and, amongst those, Xans have higher value and more roids than Caths, and Ziks have a higher value than even Xan.

So a bunch of aggressive players went Cath and are, presently, doing well at it. Is that any reason whatsoever to make Cath completely pointless for the other 99% of the universe? They're already third on average value, out of four. Terran stats are obviously warped by their "default newbie option" status, so Cath basically have the lowest average value of the races we have meaningful stats for.

If we take the focus off the top 100 (and even the top 100 is starting to level out) we would see that Cath are not doing better than other races. It is utterly ridiculous, in the light of these statistics, to claim that Cath are overpowered.
