You seem to not understand that they can be corrected.

I offered on numerous occasions to discuss this with you. You declined
several times. This response is BS.
Are you capable of understanding when a question is a question and when it
is rhetoric?

Not the right questions. And not a discussion for here. As noted before, I
will be happy to answer these in an appropriate forum.
As you don't understand the whole situation, and as it would be
inappropriate to discuss that in this setting, I decline to answer here.

Actually, I am uncertain.

I don't know to either question. I have an estimate.

I decline to answer here.

It was based on a rating, as were most of the players, including those who
had also been corrected.

Since that would have been impossible for me to do, no.

Spreadsheet.

Then I wish he would have discussed it with me. I've thought highly of
William for some time. Had I known this, I would have had some suggestions
for the best way for you to proceed. Those would be inappropriate here.
