I view it a little differently MrV. I don't find it entertaining at all. And I am less interested in the "gotcha card" and more interested in the truth, especially when such 'patently false claims' are influential to other players. This is the point that I feel legitimate players, and not just APs, but legitimate players that know and understand the math, have a responsibility to set the record straight.

Not all AP's share my passion about that because it can have the effect of creating new AP's, actual competition if you will. I don't worry about that so much as that sort of thing always works itself out. Very few people go on to the level to be any kind of real competition to me or any other real AP here or on other sites.

This 'Singer situation' is actually very similar to the situation that has resulted in me being banned from Qfit's blackjack site and carryover to WoV. I (and 2 other professional players) called out a member who was making mathematically impossible claims. Despite the consequences from that issue on the blackjack site, which has since been resolved, I have always said that I would do so again, despite being dragged through the mud. And this similar situation, although involving video poker claims rather than blackjack, is proof that I am true to my core. I believe I and other players have, not just a right, but a responsibility to call out ridiculous and mathematically impossible claims.
