Yura, how many times do I have to explain this to you? You have a computer club. I come to you, tell you about a big tournament, that there will be a lot of people... It seems like I'm making sense, and you believe me.
You change the arrangement of the computers, build a wall out of plywood for the needs of the future tournament (dividing the club into 2 zones). You let me test SoD, plus VT. After some time, I come up to you and say: "You know, it's not working out for me. You incurred costs, I'm sorry, just bear with it somehow."
You'll probably tell me in response: "Eric! The fact that you came to my club is already a great honor for me! The fact that I spent money and time on your ideas is complete nonsense! And come to my club again in the future with such proposals!"
Yes, sometimes you have to make unpleasant choices. You made one. Good luck.
