There seems to be alot of semantics flowing around, POTN didn't flop as many thought he would, nor did he run like a triple crown champion as others might want us to believe. The truth as always lies somewhere in between.

Depends on your definitions and assumptions.

1) If you assume that QR and IWR would've finished ahead of PON had they run, then

2) it would come down to your definition of what tossing PON out of the exotics would mean

So it does come down to semantics and assumptions

but, all it all, the rigorous SPIN by the PON detractors (best defense is a good offense) kind of points to their losing this one.

Why anyone would think that PON is
a) exceptionally good
or
b) a plug

is beyond me.
