Tuck's just using deductive reasoning and you question the manner in which he provides it. Wrong or right it's not the relentless "narrative" you're pushing or spun it into as you say yadda, yadda, yadda. Say it again maybe it will make it right that's definitely a strategy, but experience will always outweigh theory every time. Either way I don't think Tuck gives a darn. In fact he probably prefers you just said thank you and be on your way.

*New blood, young blood, old blood can be good can be bad the final outcome has yet to be seen although it seems to be leaning in the company's favor. Either way your working together already and have a common goal for better. Your arena has changed drastically and you have an obvious antagonizer squeezing for every last $. Go get better!
