So with Ashasx and I both arguing against Ritchie in particular, it's not as if top 10 picks never bust ever. We might both be wrong and FDW and the rest might be right, however, there is foundation to the fact that there is a precedent for top 10 guys disappointing severely, even though they appeared good at the time.

It isn't that some top picks fail, it's your observations and your reasoning behind saying that Richie will fail.
