You are avoiding the issue as usual with verbiage, and as usual 
casting aspersions om your challenger as you usually do when you're 
challenged, such as "Setting the "spread" to spec and not worring 
about the rest seems wrong to me."  Either put up or shut up.

Give me the difference in ratios, in touch weight, in 
touch-depth:blow ratio etc. etc. that will ensue.  I don't care how 
many classes and conventions and international fairs you've graced 
with your presence.  If you're going to argue about technical matters 
you need to be able to give numbers and I am quite convinced that you 
are unable to do this.
