Sorry, but I don't think it's unfair to compare Zenyatta favorably to Personal Ensign. Who the hell knows for sure who was better....but we do know they are both damn good.

The whole Zenyatta thing has gotten distorted for a number of reasons. One, nitwits on the internet ( and this is a big one ). They have annoyed many rational people so much that the sane folk become insane. Two, and this is related, the insistance ( often by the same nitwits ) that she was robbed of HOY despite the obvious has further frustrated sane people ( believe it or not, many sane people who believe Zenyatta is better than Rachel also believe the clear and correct choice was made last year ). Three, her tepid campaign this year, on the heels of last year, has further frustrated many. But this shouldn't mean people should fail to recognize her enormous talent, and further diminish her.
