Nope I'm saying this team doesn't score 4 runs per game often enough and that's a big problem.

Sure, let's break it down in simple terms:

Imagine you have two buttons. Button A is blue, and Button B is also blue but with a tiny dot on it. You might think that Button A and Button B are different because of the dot on Button B, but when you press them, they both do the exact same thing – they turn on a light.

So, even though Button B has a little dot that makes it look different, it doesn't actually change what the buttons do. That's a distinction without a difference – a way of saying things seem separate, but they really don't matter in the end because they're the same when it comes to the important part.

Is the dot raised so you can feel it's that button in the dark?

What happens when you press them at the same time?

Good question. I didn't ask chatGPT that when I submitted "explain a distinction without a difference to an idiot."

PS, I'm not actually calling Grey Eagle an idiot. Was just going for a joke.
