A quick answer would be that the math guys, aka "critics" as I've said many times from personal experience as well as from many other failed AP's, do not win with their "I only play in positive situations" misled crock, and that they only get more irritated knowing I've been consistently able to beat the so-called negative games with my strategy over the years.

In such a scenario, no mouthy AP would ever be able to accept anything I say---no matter how sensible they know it is or in how professional a manner you present your analogies about it is. Instead, these blind & tortured souls can only offer the classic textbook theory: if it's positive I will win; if it's negative I will lose. They are totally incapable of entering the world of reality because they remain a million miles away from the true meaning and applicability of ingenuity.
