Stars are considered "evil" because they can be misleading about a player's contribution to the team's performance.

Stars represent a players contribution to the game.
These are not to be used to compare teams but can be useful for comparing players who are playing in the exact same position. Also, it was the analysis of stars that helped experienced managers in determining the percentages of contributions for each position (e.g. 75% scoring and 25% passing for forwards).
