It's not a great argument, I'll grant you. )

Yes, Scrapper, and rhetorical questions are not meant to be answered but to spur discussion towards an end. I was hoping you'd use logic when pondering the rhetorical question. And, how you KNOW that tapping a player in the stomach is not effective in all cases makes you a much more effective ref than me. Wish I had your super powers, dude!
