no way that Joe ever counted the number of clubs in The Babe's bag, he just threw out a number that conveyed the enormity of it all...the bag was huge to a little kid, with 'lots' of clubs in it...and the 'salient' message Joe was communicating to me was that Babe was a super kind and thoughtful man who loved kids and didn't want to overburden Joe...so, he took out just a few clubs to play with that could easily be carried in his hand...what a truly Great Man.

So, rather than 'See the Forest' and appreciate the warmness of the story, you have to count 'Every Tree' and..find a way to disparage the teller of that story...something that a twisted, anal-retentive would likely do...but carry on...I get who you are...and expect no more.
