Furthermore, it changes the dynamics of the other throws as well making Rock a loser more often than a winner and Scissors more often a winner than a loser, statistically speaking that is. To sum up, the former World RPS Executive Vice-Chair of Theoretical Throws (a well known Dynamite opponent) is still the most often quoted source for the Anit-Dynamite faction:
