Sandy,
No question they changed some of the variable that go into the VPA, but that begs the question which is, which methodology is a better estimate of the population. The technical committees of the ASMFC don't have any political axe to grind, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, and say that they thought the changes would produce a better estimate. The peer review will ultimately tell the tale, but even if it supports the TC I don't expect Burns to get down off his soapbox.
