In Response To: Why so much effort on the openings? (Timothy Chow)

I like countering the "Why should I spend so much time on the openings" argument with the "Name the top 3 players in the room" statement. Certainly in any room I've found myself in lately I get mentioned, and then I say because I said so and you see how fucking good I am.
