The reason I found it absurd is that you could theoretically get thrown out at every AB but still have a avg of 1.000.

That's why there is a Batting Average vz the On Base Percentage. If you have 3 AB's and get thrown out 3 times, you bat 1.000 but the OBP = 0.

Speaking of "absurd", where did you come up with this silly theory? If a player bats 1.000, there's no way he'll have an OBP of 0.00. He gets credit EVERY time he reaches base safely. Except on fielder's choices, uncaught 3rd strikes and errors.
Here's the formula: On Base Percentage [OBP or OBA]
(Hits + Walks + Hit-By-Pitch) divided by (At Bats + Walks+ Hit-By-Pitch + Sac Flys)
