Consider this: A half inch shift on the bridge and 67, 2826, and 4143 are the Archimedes representatives and not the Eh Team. Would Karthik feel the same way if he experienced this from the sidelines? Only the man himself can answer that, but it has no bearing on my opinion - why should it affect yours? Get some rest and try to enjoy it again tomorrow!
And if we hadn't died in Newton Finals 1, and then 548, 118, and 2194 had fallen off the bridge in Finals 2, we could have been in their place. That's not the point. I watched Einstein from the stands, and I'm upset for them.

And it is kind of about winning or losing, but even more about winning or losing fairly.

Touche. That's VERY hard for me to say in most cases.
