Totally, but it’s still a quantity vs quality trade no matter how you split it and those rarely favour the quantity side.
Buium has a bunch of potential but if the chances were high and anyone realistically thought he was going to be Hughes.0 (see what I did there) then he wouldn’t have gone 10OA and wouldn’t have been one of four parts for actual Hughes.
