I'm willing to concede that the situation may be different elsewhere, but if your scientific data on snow crab were that accurate, then I'm sure that, as a good manager, you would not decide all of a sudden to lower the quota by 63%. Since we all know that such a move will have some ramifications, the quota should be lowered gradually instead. That's why I'm saying that one way or another, data has its limitations. I want to know what those limitations are, in order to understand how a good manager can decide to cut the quota by 63% for a given year.
