If you can't perceive that the time and space for the recipient of the tap is dependant on their own actions and the actions of their opponents and not the ruckmen, and by consequence the HtA Ruck is dependant on those same receivers actions, I can't help you and I doubt anybody can!
As a measure of the ruck HtA is a joke stat, almost offensive to ruckmen.
If HtA has any utility at all it is as a measure of how well the Midfield work together as a unit when they are winning tactically, it is still totally dependant on opposition tactics because tagging and scragging removes all the time and space by definition, no matter what the ruckmen does and all that happens regardless of where, when or how they well they tap!
