Mathematical analysis of consistency isn't the best way to look at things, because 469 had a bigger target on their back than any team in recent memory. Teams devoted multiple robots and entire matches to preventing them from playing parts of their game.

I do realize that 469 wasn't a one-trick pony. I do remember watching them and being astounded at their raw scoring ability, especially when they got their autonomous working and thus the ability to start their own cycle.
That said, 469's most high scoring performances came from using the cycle method with another powerful team. I think a difference in the definition of dominant is making this really difficult. Under my definition, 469 would have continued to have high scoring performances throughout quals and elims at all their competition, despite the quality of their partners or the efforts of their opponents. You seem to have a different definition, as does probably everyone in this thread.
