Why? As Mr. Debacle is a regular contributor to Long or Short Capital we can assume he also holds a leadership role with the organization. Using the "Birds of a Feather" model Mr.Debacle's partners are also most likely Nerds. Therefore by citing a blatantly non-Nerd six sided die in his recommendation he was able to fool you all into assuming he and his partners are not Nerds (or Cipher Nerds as stated) and thus the shareholders in Long Short Capital will not request their removal that would in turn (Per Mr. Debacles Hypothesis) create a (Cipher)Nerd-free enterprise and release value. This is obviously a situation where management and shareholder objectives are not aligned. Long Short Capital is obviously presently under valued under the current management. Mr. Debacle knows all to well the the multi-sided dice used in various role playing games and I suspect he is a dungeon master of the highest order. Reveal yourself - the truth shall set value free. Mr. Debacle you may not eat your cake and have it too! I think the initial remark about the six sided die was actually a thinly veiled attempt to cover Mr. Debacles true level of Nerdness.

A lot of sides, equals a lot of weight, if you were to make a side be flat enough and large enough to be stable. Would a nerd really have the strength to roll a 100 sided die?

Apparently, I have a reputation on this site as a nerd, so I did not want to be the first to comment publicly. Now I don't have to worry since A Nerd commented before this nerd.
