Exactly the point I was trying to make: We'll happily divvy up anything you give us, but we have a very short-term memory (and, to protect the not-so-innocent, will generally "greek*" anything we're given), so don't expect it to make any difference.

Judges, on the other hand, will happily visibly wear anything you give them.
