   All your #'s can be compared to the game of baseball where one pitcher gives up   
   15 hits in a game yet still walks away with the victory. It's the final score   
   that counts.

   Did I not explain all that in my original post (the one where you edited out   
   the economic reasoning). You play the game like FauxEntertainment... edit the   
   shit out of a story to make them seem intelligent.
