The 4-6 vs 4-7 Debate

I probably would never have decided to make a post discussing this if it weren't for the excessive trading downtime giving rise to the discussion on outside forums.

So, why is it called a 4-6 if there are 7 enhancements by the time it's done? The reason isn't because the final form, the reason is because the lower forms.

In the beginning, there was a question:

HOW WAS THIS CARD EVOLVED?

And a player answered:

4max. 

And it was good. Then the question was repeated:

HOW WAS THIS CARD EVOLVED?

And a player answered:

Using 6 cards I enhanced the last two forms before combining.

And it was too long. Then the question was repeated:

HOW WAS THIS CARD EVOLVED?

And a player answered:

6-2

And there was silence. This simple abbreviation, answering the age old question, how was this card evolved....made everything easier. The world continued to turn and player trading and clarity began to flourish. Players were happy and able to trade with the simple translation of the question, how was this card evolved. But everything changed when noobs attacked. Armed with wikipedia spewing forth their ignorance into the world of trading destroying what the community had built and bathing in the chaos that ensued.

So the question was asked again:

HOW WAS THIS CARD EVOLVED?

And a player answered:

4-7.

And it was vile, for this was not how the card was evolved, the card was evolved using a 4-6. The noobs didn't realize that calling a card a 4-7 merely answers a question that nobody asked, did you enhance the final form. The card was an fully enhanced 4-6.

But the noobs didn't realize the error of their ways, they fought on claiming they should get credit for that last enhancement. They didn't know that by constantly using 4-7 and 6-11 as examples they were killing the 4-2, the 4-4, the 6-2, the 6-4. And soon, the gentle 4-0 who never hurt anybody would be called to the stand.

And the question was asked:

HOW WAS THIS CARD EVOLVED?

And the player answered:

4-0 Because calling it anything but 4-0 would be wrong. For it is the worst of evolutions and deserves no number, for no number of enhancements were used in its evolution. 

And the question was asked:

HOW COULD A 4-0 AND A 4-7 EXIST?

And the player answered:

They cannot.

And the question was asked again:

HOW WAS THIS CARD EVOLVED?

And the player answered:

IT IS A 4-6 BECAUSE WE MUST COUNT FROM ZERO TO SIX, NOT FROM SEVEN TO ONE!

And the noobs wretched and at the brightness of the words and returned to darkness hoping for the day they could come forth again spreading misinformation that they gathered attempting to destroy a community.
