6. looks like a good time to mess with a successful formula

... if you're an idiot.

Honestly, for his own reputation's sake Lack should just leave Lawrence where he is. He'll look like a fool if he lets Lawrence go and ratings go down, but even if for some reason ratings go down if he renews Lawrence's contract nobody would blame him, in view of these numbers.

This situation reminds me of overhearing my hairdresser talk to the woman next to her, saying that a customer had gotten mad at her for charging so much when she hadn't cut much hair off. It's easy to cut a lot of hair off; it's hard to know where and how much to cut and what to leave alone.
