@arstechnica Only a few thousand???!!! No worries. The Injustices can easily sleep at night with that. Especially with the 1000 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets Harlan Crow gives em for Christmas.

@arstechnica If the antagonistic results were also as quantifiable as the ones presented here, you might have a point. But unfortunately, they aren’t. A different approach is needed to measure the effectiveness of these decisions, or lack thereof.

@arstechnica Basically, it’s easy to accurately measure the negative effects here, but hard to accurately measure any potential positives.
