    I see no such presumption. Where do you see that? If there is a *single*
    change that would cause f to increase, and g to decrease (or vise
    versa), then you can't "optimize for both".

    I think you've misread Herbert's reasoning, and that makes the rest of
    your post... ummm... what was that technical term Randy used? :)

    Best,
    Frank
