Complicated sums are involved here, such as calculus and taking away the number you first thought of, but the resulting blackboardy squiggles can be distilled into two points.

1. If you write something and I edit it, I'm right.

2. If I write something and you edit it, I'm entitled to kill you with repeated levering blows from a pole vaulting pole.

And that's why today I run the largest publishing empire in space from a palace made of gold.
