He brings sports into the equation, comparing how a free-throw shooter in basketball who shoots below 80 percent could be deemed a failure, while a player with a batting average of .270 in baseball would be looked at as productive.
"If we played baseball, and every time we struck out and we said, 'We're not hitting again,' you'd play for half of a game," Pamon explains.
