Depends on your measure of dominance. However, this thread is> implicitly using blue-chips as the measure of dominance.
I'm not sure that it is. There's dominance in general and there's blue-chips. If you dominate the tour, including non-blue-chip slams, but you have a poor record in blue-chips, then that's a mark against you relative to Graf, since most of Graf's slams were blue-chips. And if you have not dominated the tour then you aren't really good enough to be seriously compared to Graf, even if you've had a few purple patches at blue-chips. Anyway, Max will have to explain what he means.

Ask Max.
And Graf has won more blue-chip slams than those FOUR players COMBINED

but about 5 or 6 of these were down to the stabbing
No they weren't. If Mac had been stabbed on his way to collect the Christmas turkey in 1984 then people would have been just as likely to put question marks beside the slam winners of the next few years. As it turned out, they would have been wrong. Regardless of the past, you have to prove yourself worthy of winning the next slam by actually competing in it and winning it.
