Ken: I am impressed that Steve is still discussing this with you. You should feel complimented. I usually just give up on people who make up stuff to argue with, rather than responding to what I am actually saying.
As for the careful consideration that quota determinations supposedly receive. Sure, we know that all kinds of things are supposed to be taken into consideration, all kinds of complex environmental and historical factors, to arrive a the very carefully considered permit quotas. And I am sure all the factors get looked at. But, come on: isn't it a just little coincidental that all that complex multivariate analysis of the Whitney Zone results in the precise, round numbers of exactly 60 overnight and 100 day-use permits? And is that consistent with say Happy Isles: 40 overnight and unlimited day use?
