That is what I meant.

There is no argument. The answer is yes it is possible to be behind in the long run because somebody will be. Period.

To paraphrase Snyder "Somebody Won't Win" and it is not because they weren't good enough.

The question has shifted to -is it such a small % of the total to even be talking about at length. I agree, it is.

So play on and play hard. Look for every advantage you can find. Give 'em hell and don't look back. That is what I intend to do.

And hope one of those quaranteed losers ain't me!!
