Wait! So, that last one... did somebody just defeat their own argument totally on his own, with no additional outside help? As a non-native speaker (didn't grow up in an english-speaking country, only grew up with english-speaking father), I sometimes have a hard time following such... "eloquency", and therefore am forced to ask: Did that guy seriously say "well, technically, somebody could've already tried that money-trick, but the rest of the world didn't care for that amount of the currency he used, and therefore switched to another currency", and forgot to add that his entire point is moot, because, hey, the wizard's got lots of money now, such a shame he can't use any of it?
