Blundering early vs. blundering late: UBK's example revisited

In Response To: Blundering early vs. blundering late: UBK's example revisited (Timothy Chow)

You confused me (though it is 9am and I am awake so that's partially to blame I'm sure. You first said:

UBK asked, suppose one player blunders a win into a loss early in the match. The other player blunders a win into a loss late in the match (at a score of 1a1a)

Then you went on to say:

It's easy to see that both Nellie and Charlie will blunder away exactly one game per match. Less obvious, perhaps, is that Nellie and Charlie will win equally many matches in the long run, but this is true.

So to me from what you said it wasn't obvious to me at all that both players blunder away one game per match. You made it sound like one person definitely blunders away a game early in the match and the other player does so if they get to dmp. I'm guessing from context what you meant is that the other player always blunders away a game later in the match at Crawford for example.

As a side note there are more subtle ways to call Chuck a choker but I still appreciate the sentiment.
