Amen to that!

For some reason, technical attacks on the hardest link are often more
interesting and/or more exciting than attacking the weakest links.   Perhaps
the latter activity has a flavour of cheating, of breaking the rules of the
game.  Only the cads, bounders and all-round bad guys do that...
