Thanks for adding your story. All I can say is /sigh. I always feel for teams that had logic. reason, thought, facts, and science fall aside to volume. But if you watch TV today that's what you see. It's not the person that has all their facts line up win the argument, it's the person that can be rude, speak over top others and have a louder voice. It's sad to see it move from blowhard pundits to the robot event floor.

So sadly, I have little for the original poster.
