mircea_popescu: greenspan_fan i thought we were discussing projection of power.
mircea_popescu: greenspan_fan go into detail re: well run. use examples.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for the folks who actually run the place, this was an epic pants-creaming victory, rather than the apparent humiliation.
mircea_popescu: greenspan_fan it could project more power at the risk of having its arms broken off and used to beat it over the head.
mircea_popescu: greenspan_fan yes the stuff around charles
