"NAQT did not believe that the exemption was being kept a secret; the
e-mail inviting a team to participate under those circumstances was
certainly circulated among all of the participating schools in
southern California and I remember mentioning discussing the issue
with several teams at the ICT itself, the most memorable of which was
whether the decision was made simply to win Adam Fine's public bet
about ICT attendance."
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say I really don't think R. and
the NAQT cabal lost a lot of sleep, thinking, "You know, the
questions are important, but we really gotta make sure Adam Fine
loses his public bet."
Whoever actually brought up that discussion at the ICT is a numbnuts.
