5-10-15s aren't so bad, there should be a place for some relatively
more obscure info, but
there shouldn't be an overabundance of them in a packet or tournament.
What I passionately hate are 15-15 bonuses. Not only is it far far
to obscure for one
question, it tells me that the question writer was too *(^!^#_at_(*ing
lazy to come up with a
third answer on that topic.
