You took two completely different statements and tried to marry them together. That is not a contradiction unless I made the same statement in the same post or topic. You do not understand because you do not know the difference between a statement and a larger context. Not caring about what I called before does not mean I am going to call the last foul totally incorrectly as you have implied. I simply said that what I did before does not matter if the last foul is bad. I stand by that statement and just like teams do not focus on the first few minutes of the game the same way they do at the end of the game.
A good example of this was the Big 12 Championship football game. There was a play in the 4th Quarter that was probably a bad call and the play stood and helped result Nebraska to take the lead based on the field position and events after this call. But what was the focus of this game and the outcome? What happen on what appeared to be the very last play of the game and when the play was reviewed the media, coach and players focused on this "last play" and you almost heard nothing about the bad call early in the quarter which had in my opinion a much bigger impact on the possible outcome. And as a result of what happen on the last play, conspiracy theories have been suggested, official's judgments have been in question and the entire BCS situation has been called into question. But you hear nothing about how Texas might have lost the game and why the officials that were so in on the fix "screwed" Texas in an earlier play of the game. Same applies to what we are talking about here.
