But then you're trying to compare level 30 bubbles to level 31
bubbles, which is literally apples to oranges. You have to
compare using the same units. In my anecdote and my take on
your anecdote, it was level 30 bubbles.

All you've really shown is that level 30 bubbles are a lot
bigger than level 31 bubbles, which we already know since
level 30 a hell level. :)
