I agree with you completely, Kutulu, regarding unearned runs. Given the absolutely haphazard way errors are assigned, and the arbitrary manner in which they affect what becomes an "earned" or "unearned" run, it is time pitchers are evaluated by total RA.
Many sabermetricians have actually been doing this for years. Judging a pitcher's RA rather than ERA has been shown, consistently, to be a better measure of performance.
