I'm sorry, Bob, I added 25 + 55 + 10 + 49.  Perhaps math works
differently in LA?

My statement did not include all of the relevant information, but
that's because I did only slight analysis of the data.  Astonishing
how hard it is to get from data to information.  I freely admit
that I only have data, and of course the rest of the history, which
I don't have, is important to feed into deriving information.  I
will be sure to refrain from contributing any data in the future,
to avoid misinterpretation.
