Understand, but when you make the repeat the same mistakes and expect different results, what would you call that behaviour?

And I fully agree, inexact should not be used as an excuse for failure...

Once again, failure is inherent to a degree in the drafting world. You mention "same mistakes". What are those "same mistakes"? In your ultra critical, point-of-view definition, a mistake may not be a mistake to others. You appear to define anything that is not excellence, or not according to your wishes, as being a mistake or failure when it comes to the Payton/Loomis drafts. I know that is an overstatement on my part, but you must know what I mean.

And who has used "inexact" as an excuse for failure? It is not an excuse. It is a descriptive adjective describing the basic nature of the NFL draft.
