Arc, what is your definition for "overcome the math"? Is it that he can do better than what the math says he will do playing a particular VP game? Yes, that's what he says and that's what we all want to do.

Does he say he can beat the math return on a game? Yes he says that, and we all want to do that.

Does he dispute the math? No he does not.

When I play 8/5 Bonus I am playing a game that says I should lose... by the math. So I want to play that game and leave it ahead, and overcome, beat, and do better than the math. Do you have a problem with that?
