Oh, ok. I am apparently too young for this to make any sense to me. No problemo, my logic still stands the same. It's still all the same things, for pretty much all the same reasons. Being the "final" question of a game show like that is pretty well choosing the number cuz it sounds heavy. It's still hyperbole.

And I have a feeling this copy is going to stay up. Perhaps because it's actually become a reasonable discussion. The troll is likely already banned, which helps, I'm sure.

It's OK, I won't take all the credit for turning this one around

Oh, I wasn't faulting your logic at all. In fact, I enjoyed and appreciated your argument. I was just giving the hyperbole some context. The original show actually is before my time, too, but my parents mentioned it from time to time, then came the re-worked show. Keep in mind, $64,000 was a lot of money in the days when Jeopardy clues ranged from $10-$50 in the first round, and were double that in Double Jeopardy, and I do remember those days. I've actually seen the term used in politics when a news anchor asks a political analyst a tough question, and the analyst responds with, "That's the $64,000 question." Now that I think about it, Dr. Brothers was probably on TV as early as the 60s; I'm just barely too young to remember.
