If the context were different, he would just as readily go on about how much EHP his freighter or orca has and how [ungankable that makes it](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/expanding-criminal-activities-in-high-sec/489326/142), so he grasps the concept, for sure, and is electing to ignore it in favor of pretending that asset value and risk are the same thing. Whatever suits the agenda of the thread.
