Could you imagine glass bathroom stalls being installed in public restrooms? (mock outrage) What? You think that's crazy? Well why are you against it? You must have something to hide!
... what?

This analogy makes absolutely no sense. You are attempting to draw correlation between statistical numbers and seeing someone with their jeans around their knees. I shouldn't even have to elaborate on how utterly absurd this leap in logic is. Good lord...

Putting that nonsense aside. It doesn't matter if you were sick, Mom told you to clean your room or your goldfish burst into flames. Very few people care. What they do care about are results. Even if you had a legitimate excuse for all ten gray parses, you're still liability because whatever distracts you in real life impacts the group. Consistency is key here. Low parses aren't going to matter if you also have plenty of decent ones to go alongside them. Someone who consistently posts no higher than 30% is likely to have mechanical issues that doesn't involve exploding goldfish.
