One point I should have added, is that I think Derb and I would agree that 10% is actually a very significant amount of influence. I may think it’s more, but even so, the issue is leverage. Ten percent can equal a huge influence in, say, investments or financing. A ten degree turn in one direction will, over time, move a ship very far from a ten degree turn in the other direction. Much of life boils down to moments. Even if Derb is correct, that 10% can matter 100% at the right moment.
