I agree that Chalices do affect the degree to which Rituals are correct, but not in the way that you suggest. Dark Rituals, again, are terrible against Shops. The number of Chalices you expect to face rise in direct proportion to the presence of Workshops.
Except that the argument is Rituals (which do something) vs counter-magic (which does nothing). Some recent builds have eschewed Imperial Seal and I'm not disagreeing with Seal > Ritual #2.
Your arguments have been pretty awful from the beginning because you don't actually play real Vintage tournaments. I do. And I've won them.
Another anecdote. Show up at enough tournaments and you'll win some.
I have never lost to Dredge with X is a fact, not an argument. You are confusing the two. That fact is used to support an argument in favor of Y. It does support it. It's not proof of Y, but it is supportive.
Unlikely evidence doesn't support anything. Like I said, "never lost to Dredge" is far more indicative of cheating than correctness. What do you think the real odds are? 60-40 at best? If you've tested even 10 matches, that's 1/200 odds.
So what you're really saying is that you're cheating, lying, or misrepresenting the actual quality of a strategy based on what's at best a statistical fluke.can win without relying or needing Rituals. It means the deck relies more on cards like Fastbond and Lotus and Imperial Seal to find them. 1 Ritual is fine as a Mystical Tutor target
Not disputed. Relying on topdeck tutors takes time and/or burns draw spells.
fine time
Disputed. Speed of the environment determines whether or not you're fast enough.
I've also done extensive testing.
See above.
