- ardy42 6y ago> So do most batters in Major League Baseball. VC is the batter, though. They're interviewing people to be their balls.
- pvorb 6y agoAnd some balls get hit so hard that they become successful Baseball players themselves?
- ardy42 6y agoNo analogy is an exact mapping. But it is true outside observers spend far more time considering the few balls that were home runs than many more that were fouls.
- willyg123 6y agoI wasn't making an analogy to VC. Perhaps an inartful attempt to point out the previous comment's non sequitur.
