Well put. I appreciate everyone approaching this topic thoughtfully and with real concern for what the industry does and plans to do to make things as fair and honest for everyone as possible. That's why Andy Beyer's earnestness on this topic has gravitas, and why he can say things that most others can't or won't. I'm as eager for the level playing field as anyone and hope when it comes that we're surprised how honest the vast majority of players in the training arena are.
