    Mis-statement 1: "You are playing to a 0% RoR if you constantly resize". Definition you never resize. This statement is inconsistent with the definition.
    Mis-statement 2: "That is you RoR from that point forward". By definition once your BR, bet spread or rules of the game change so does your RoR. So once your BR changes you are no longer playing with that RoR.
    Mis-statement 3: "Optimal BR growth does not occur with a 13.5% RoR". Since RoR changes every time your BR changes you must resize in order to continue to play with a 13.5% RoR so stating resizing is necessary is redundant. I actually did state resizing but I still was told that optimal BR growth was not achieved if you play with a 13.5% RoR.

    I could keep going but the point is the definition is what the definition is. Your statements should be consistent with the definition. When they aren't you start to cause confusion.
    Don did not make these three misstatements, you are putting words in his mouth. It is clear that you are not an expert on RoR. Please just go to read Don's book.

    I think "Good grief" isn't an acquiescence.
