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.
