That statement isn't quite true. With the current scheduling system, the lower numbered teams each face a [theoretically] harder schedule as they are never paired with another low numbered team, and will typically have to carry their alliance. Thus why low numbered teams rarely emerge captains. You cannot use evidence tampered by this system to advocate against it.
