You would expect externalities to be (reasonably) randomly distributed over time, and if a pilot has very significantly higher rates of go around's than his/her colleagues, you would simply want to understand why. You may perfectly find that the pilot has just been unlucky or is being particularly careful in certain circumstances. However, you cannot exclude that it might also stem from something else.
