I believe that I'll change my recommendation to a thumbs up. This change will lead to fewer errors rather than more errors, as I originally believed. I'll send a quick text to Theresia before her committee makes any final decisions. Now, if I could only convince her not to go with a multicolored ball, that would make my day.
