I think a good goal in 2016, and maybe the remainder of 2015, is to read and recognize when people have agreed with you. Like immediately after you posted that the first time. You might remember such agreements from posts like (paraphrasing here) "Hey, I agree with that. That's why I'm nice IRL (not exclusively, just focusing on people in my IRL races) to everyone. I need all the help I can get!"
I'll stand by that I've not heard anyone diminish any performance or result because someone took the pack finishes upgrade to get there. But I'm speaking only for myself. Only Siths deal in absolutes, I think.
