Ah, I see now. I had never heard "best-effort" used in that fashion

It does make for interesting arguments when we haven't even agreed on
the terminology. It's my fault of course, but then again not telling
you my definitions gives me the egotistical edge. :) It's the secret

Nah, the secret is to play the redefinition game, to get me to agree to
*your* definition of the phrase, then make some logical argument that
makes sense based on your definition, and then go and reach some
conclusion based on my original definition of the word. :)
