If there were wide spread *disagreement* among the connoisseurs then the argument would be strengthened...we shouldn't give credence to their opinion b/c they cannot agree on the "certain way" in which it was moving.
The only thing that has shifted in my opinion is the traps are sexier and the correct ACs are less appealing on first glance... Don't take the wrong one home...
I almost certainly did better this time around... December was exactly as I expected it to be with a harder LG and easier LR. RC was slightly easier as well in my opinion since the inferences weren't as crazy as some of the October ones were.
