Huh? How did this get into a "Krusty's voice doesn't count" issue?
[Edit: I mean to say, I didn't see an attack on my post or anything from yarble's response. Seemed more like he was directing it to HTC than to me. *shrug*]
FYI: 1/3 of a very large number is somewhat representative, in my book. We're not talking 30 special one-off planes, we're talking hundreds of planes.
So what, to you, would be the cut-off-point for "representative"?
1/2? 2/3? 3/4? 100%?
1/3 of all 109G6s had 30mm, and we had that option (before it was decided to give us the "early" G-6, where it wasn't so representative). We might just as well campaign for a 190A8 without the aux tank to horribly destabilize its flight patterns -- only, a sizable chunk of all 190A8s had this tank. Either way, what we WANT is nicer, but what we HAVE is still fairly accurate.
Like I said, it would be nice, but I think some folks are blowing the argument out of proportion.
