You can take that any way you see it. But, a company of less than 200 people (including receptionists, mail clerks etc) is doing their best to run against companies that have hundreds of thousands of employees and countless millions of dollars of development.

Besides, back when Nickey won ama in 2002(?). i4s were restricted, and the twins had an advantage. Soooo a huge corporation with limitless money had restrictions in place to help them run. Why not Buell?
I've never understood the knock on Buell. I really don't. Anyone who knows Erik's story and struggle to become what he has today should love this guy.
