I've heard both sides, they both have decent points, this isn't about who is right and who is wrong since anything I could say has already been said by others much better. But it does have me wondering if this is has anything to do with how Steven was so anti-competition until he spontaneously was pro-competition. Like Romney and the pro-life thing, what was his "Come to Jesus moment" regarding competition? Nothing changed for him in-front of the scenes, so maybe it was something behind the scenes.
