I noticed that Ben reacted as though it as a snow-job, but it could have been
because <n> parsecs was an unreasonably small amount of time to make the Kessel
run in.  Like saying you drove from New York to San Fransisco in six hours.
So the reaction is still consistent with the idea that a "parsec" (in SW talk)
is a unit of time.  Even if Solo were trying to snow Ben and Luke, why would
he use the wrong term?  Would a modern smuggler say, "I made the Colombian
run in less than six miles"?  				-- Allan Pratt
