I did NOT say you should try to appeal everything you feel is unjust. I said let the person decide. I'm saying there should not be a blanket statement about NEVER appealing certain decisions. People should appeal for anything they WANT to (obviously after using common sense, not everything) especially if it's NOT personal, like college admissions.

I also did NOT say you should appeal to 1,000 different places. It was an example to point out that Paul was comparing apples to oranges.

And, by appeal, I don't think either I or Paul meant just words, but whatever it would be (retaking the physical, sending videos to a coach of your performance, sending a college a picture of a national award you just received in March after you were just rejected, etc.)
