Well, that's just it, Mazca, I find it to be silly and stupid. That could be taken as 'urarrpeesizrong!', but that's not how it's intended. I find the whole thing silly and stupid due to the way it's used. A cheap copout, or a way to overpower newer players, or players more SP centralized on industry when arguments are getting close to being lost.
Anyway, it was an honest enough question. I wanted to see if there was anything about it that I didn't understand or know. So far, apparently it wasn't, thus my opinion stands. It's silly, and stupid.
