Your back pedaling is stunning. Here's how you started this conversation:

Now you say you were referring to a now shut down forum called the BBQ forum. You have a credibility problem ace.

We get it dude, you've been coached that profit sharing is too risky so we need to monetize it now. Problem is our survey results were unanimous that profit sharing must not be touched. Thus your attempts at convincing us of our error in judgment are...suspicious.

Giddy in fact.)

Seems my facts are much more complete.

Hate to let the sun shine on your rainy day.

But hey, I'll take another 30% in the next contract. I'll take 40%. And I don't really care how they slice it.
You had no idea the number would be 30% or 19%. But you'd take 19% over 3.5 years even if self funded again. Sad.
