I read what you said and made an evaluation based on your words. You do not have to prove anything to me. You said what you said and I adamantly disagree with that position. I have been very consistent about the overrated nature of these tests.

While your point of the tests not readying an official for conflict resolution or many aspects of game management are indeed well taken, I still find merit with their preparation that carries into the games themselves. However, I never said that it's the only way to do things.

I did not ask you to agree, just asked you to be explain why you only value that preparation and not other preparation or time. You have appeared to have broadened your position as your first comments were rather narrow IMO. Again, you do not have to prove anything to me. I do not have to hire you for any games or work with you. So what you choose to spend your time is up to you.
