A truly fascinating statement; probably not something that will be recorded in history as a memorable quote, but interesting just the same. So what is your question? What is it that you don't understand about this relationship that you described? What is it you expect from us? What have you done to try to find a solution for yourself?

The point of all this is that when you do a minimum amount of work, we are going to do minimum amount of work.
