      III. We’ve Already Seen Extensive Gains From-

      When I was younger, I read R.A Salvatore’s classic fantasy novel, The Crystal Shard. There is a scene in it where the young protagonist, Wulfgar, challenges a barbarian chieftain to a duel for control of the clan so that he can lead his people into a war that will save the world. The fight culminates with Wulfgar throwing away his weapon, grabbing the chief’s head with bare hands, and begging the chief to surrender so that he does not need to crush a skull like an egg and become a murderer.

      Well this is me. Begging you. To stop lying. I don’t want to crush your skull, I really don’t.
