No Delta, that is not the point you were making. Your point was directed towards a one on one conflict, it's a couple posts up if you need to refresh your memory. Ironchef's post was addressing the incontrovertible fact that so far no alliance in CN has been able to overcome a bloc disadvantage.
In regards to your new point of argument, it's arguably more subjective so it needs not be addressed since, again, it is irrelevant to the topic at hand.
