Correction: I hit Send too soon.

True but not on point.  Kevin is talking about how each CGR certificate is
supposed to be "counted" against each player's certificate limit.

I do not agree with Kevin that this is a bug.  The single shares of CGR are
supposed to count as half certificates if they are 5% each, but since the
president's certificate is two shares (as Mike said) it counts as one whole
certificate whether it is 10% or 20%.  I see no bug.
