The rest of the discussion is supposed to have been a hypothetical - IF they were to make such a cut, would it be a big deal.
OK. I get it now.
Hypothetically,
IF AA were to make such a cut, would it be a big deal? In the real world - no. On FT - huge deal, worth a 500-post thread that would linger on the first page of the AA forum for at least a week.
Are there any other hypothetical cuts that we should evaluate the big-dealness of?
