re: The Best Way to Make a Bad Name Good

This isn't that. That is saying, "This team is like a horse because it pulls alot of weight with it." Then saying that because you must detach the weight from the horse to keep the horse from working itself to death, we must detach weight from the team to keep it from failing, therefore we must trade so and so.

This is saying, if something with more than 10X worth negativity can be `owned', then so can something with X negativity can. It's a direct, logical comparison, using the 10X+ bit of information to prove the point in one fell swoop.
