So it is better to have an inaccurate number? Adjusting the number gives me the appearance them trying to get the most accurate info and admitting that the original number may have been flawed. The idea that Beyer is fudging numbers for ""insiders" is laughable.
And it isnt as though his was the only number that was unusually high.
This one is for Phil got a 121 equibase number after never nearing 100 before. Perhaps someone could get the sheet number also?
