A theory: clubs exert so much time and energy training and instructing catchers in the defensive aspect of the game that at the major league level the difference between the catchers who have survived is indetectable (except for controlling the running game)
This is not the same as saying that catcher defense is not important. If an organization decided to spend less time and energy working with their minor league catchers on their defensive skills based on the finding that there is no detectable difference in the defensive ability of major league catchers that could conceivably lead to a case of detectable differences

Chicago can counter with Butkus, Sweetness, Jordan, and Bobby Hull
