See the point now remains, you have all these agrees on a post which, at it's core, doesn't represent the situation. They're all agreeing that it's all shared, that's fine, but that's not happening.
If they still believe that the statistic should be shared regardless, then that's great, we can go for it.
Why I'm making a big point about this, is that in the past I broke from normal practices by giving the point for 10th place, even when they'd retired, just to keep the statistics stable. If I hadn't have gone about making such decisions to keep it all in line, I wouldn't even question this. But I have made those decisions, and so this situation becomes more difficult for me.
