I'm afraid that I might be responsible for all the talk of pizza, ketchup and hot dogs spilling into other threads.
I feel I have betrayed you all.

Confused at first, but man, now that I understand the context, I respect it.
Sometimes the only winning move is to not play.
Also, this thread is leaking again.

One of my "favorite" examples of how people think about numbers, rules, decisions, etc... is when a state decides to put in a uniform grading scale, or change it. And so South Carolina switched from 93-85-77-70 to 90-80-70-60.
And then they act like changing that matters and the courses will become easier or harder based on how it was changed. Because apparently the teachers aren't smart enough to make the questions harder or easier to get whatever effect they want. (Similar things come up when a state decides a B average is needed for scholarships, for example.)
Does a rule involving numerical cut-offs and consequences do anything if the rest of the system still isn't constrained?

Sometimes folks change things just so they can say they did something. Typically, folks in middle management to prove they are worth something by doing nothing. I lost track of how many corporate name changes they can come up with for building manager. (Its a lot!)
Though, since we are talking numbers, and its now fantasy season, folks tend to look for numbers they like while ignoring the ones they dont. Like a player who tears it up for 2-3 games at the end of the season. Folks assume that's a new trend that will continue while ignoring an entire season of games that were low and inconsistent.

Planning my Halloween costume for the annual holiday costume party. Honestly I will never top the year that I told everyone I was dressing up as Amelia Earhart for Halloween, and then never showed up.
