[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 1806094, member: 7398"] I get that. But how do they know? How do they KNOW one is going to be a -8 and one is going to be a +4? What makes them look at one pairing and say -8 and another exact same pairing and say +4? I understand genomic "enhancement" - but that's just an enhancement of the number that's already been concocted. Where did the concoction take place? I feel like the association could just spin off any numbers out of one of those lottery ball machines and stick em in there. How would we know? [/QUOTE]
