FC: See that organization with even fewer resources than us playing in a crumbling stadium in a city besieged by poverty and violence with no money or corporate base that has been extraordinarily successful despite all of that for 15 years plus? That proves we are on the right track!

Any non-brain dead person: Well, uh, how come you can't replicate even a tenth of their success despite significant structural advantages compared to the A's? Doesn't this just mean their Front Office/Scouting/Executives are the differentiator? Aren't you the problem then?
