[David Sklansky]

In defense of Daniel, I remind you that his article starts out by talking about the super big game. A game that is both tougher and at least five times bigger than the next largest game. To take the plunge into that game you pretty much really do have to be a "Johnny" willing to do it underfinanced and with the expectation that you won't start out with the best of it.

Since Daniel relates to that Johnny he didn't realize that the same philosophy need not apply to those who go up the ladder in smaller games.
