I assumed as much. My pt was that perhaps you might want to reconsider and/or modify the theory itself. Big progress only comes after big jolts, usually provided by a protagonist with a healthy ego who's willing to stick his neck out in support of his or her theory. But after the conceptual issue has been conquered, the next step is the collection & evaluation of data to determine if there is empirical support for the theory. That never happened, at least not publicly. People do not like to hear that one of their key theoretical assumptions rests on a very wobbly base at best, but I am absolutely convinced that it does.
I assumed as an agnostic that after your original post you were going to access the RBR & do a fair comparison between the nos. One question that comes to my mind is whether it makes sense that SFF in fact experienced a "big bounce" in her last & then very easily ran what was presumably a new top in her latest.
More often than not I'm willing to stick my neck out on the ROTW, but you & a few others will understand that this time I'm not able to be objective. The Cards timed the sweep just right, so I'm going to take my cyberscore & go "all in" on Victory Ride to finish 1st or 2nd. Keep your fingers crossed, as I'm going to need all the help I can get on this one.
