I'll buy that - it's amazing what you can do with numbers if you want to tell a certain story. If you've ever taken any stat courses you need to see all the numbers and inputs to judge the final product so who knows. I've had a number of months when I've had lines less than 70 and I'm not big on picking up extra time (I'm lucky with a full Mil pension).
