Just because my original post didn't articulate everything yours did, and just focused on the point that in meaningful races where Pletch cannot control the framework of the race he seems to do significantly worse than every other day, why does that make my opinion that he is overrated less justified?

Personally, I do think it matters, but that's neither here nor there. Plenty of people don't like certain aspects of the sport and/or the business; I am one of them. Some of these people might also be very passionate about some of these respective issues. Again, I am one of them. Apparently, you are as well. That's great.

Obviously, that doesn't mean your opinion is more or less justified -- at least not in your eyes; however, in my eyes, it might not be objective -- which is what I said. I looked at and viewed your initial point as a weak and myopic arguement attempting to substantiate Pletcher's capabilities, or lack thereof, and in my opinion it wasn't objective. That's all. In coming to that conclusion I also looked at your handle which obviously is reflective of something. That's all.

You want to say he's overrated, that's fine. Like I said, I am not going to argue with you. However, I just didn't think your initial -- single point -- was made objectively.
