I don't really agree, perception is a funny thing.
For example, we say McGovern is elite, most would agree. Yet Weitering averages more kicks than McGovern (10.2 / 8.7), has a higher kick efficiency (75% / 71%) and a very similar clanger rate (2.1 / 1.9). Are you surprised?
Even so, I think McGovern remains my better of the two but Weitering isn't bad like you may think.
I suspect the where and when influences perception, and when things go wrong on the last line it's probably a nightmare for fans!
I have more memories of McGovern opening up the opposition for a score, yet the elimination final kick from Weiters to Hollands is as good if not better than any.
