Yes, it's just that Jimmy in 83 could also blow away, say Mel Pursell, and
now has to struggle..

Though a variety of good reasons was exposed (one-shot, transition from clay,
early pressure of various sorts) I still think that perhaps Nick's
camp surroundings create some sort of emotional background that provides
his prodigies with high motivation, etc. Somehow pro tour disspells that,
at least for some time. Perhaps havings very rich folks plays a role
in Arias' etc. mode of thinking...
Sounds obscure? That's because I'm not really sure what I'm talking
about. Never mind...
