Well, Rob, he did point out (and any of us who own a copy
of the manual can confirm) that the _skills_ that modify the
ability to fight are limited by CSE.  Also, he did show how
these 'other limiting factors' (namely, STR, PER, and WIL)
could be argued to have an effect.  Just because you look
at it differently doesn't mean he is wrong.  Nor does it mean
that he needs to explain any further than he has already done
so.  I understood his original explanations; just because they
were insufficient to sway your viewpoint doesn't mean he has
to do any further explanation.  So you would vote otherwise;
big deal.  That's why we have a voting process.

Oh great Zen master, explain how not.
