It's a decent thread - don't derail it with imperfect (or bad) analogies. (and yes, I have taken plenty of exams where questions counted for different percentages...though a ball put in play is more like an exam where the answer was filled out for you).You might think it is generous, but when you take an exam do the easy questions count the same amount as the hard ones? When a batter takes a CU right over the heart of the plate that she was sitting on, does it count as much for the BA as every other hit?
