What I was alluding to is that the no sales-job was so effective at modifying the "facts", that almost everyone I spoke with didn't have the pay rates/PS conversion correct. Insofar as the NC sometimes sounded as though they were double-counting the pay and PS, a lot of the no-guys were saying that PS had been taken out. "Seldom" was not the right way to put it. I ran into smart guys that got the math correct, and also a lot of guys that didn't have even the basic payrate/PS dialed-in.
I had the exact opposite experience, and I'd bet more representative. The "smart" guys were the ones who read it all, carefully, and came up with "no". The folks with pedestrian level knowledge were the "yes" guys. "My rep said I'd be crazy to vote no, and they've been doing this for years."
