Yes, it's a trade-off, which is why I brought it up. But my point here is that the statement the author made, as far as I'm able to understand it, makes no sense. That is, I think he tried to discuss these issues, but I don't think he understands them well enough to do so. I think you and I are in agreement, unless you are saying that what the author stated does make sense.
