The text in your message implies that you ran them once, and there's absolutely
nothing there to indicate multiple runs.  Just because you usually, even always,
do something, doesn't mean it should automatically be assumed that you did, when
the implication is the opposite.

Even still, the fact that you ran only 4 positions, and yet complain about the
data Vincent is using, that uses 6 positions, is pretty silly, no matter how
many times you ran your positions.
