Not to be personal, but I haven't heard anything from you that supports
FASA's ruling -- more along the lines of, "Why didn't they say what they
meant?"
Again, if you can come up with a better rationale, fine.

Oh, so it really doesn't pertain to the card at all. LotP uses the same
keyword as LT does; not two different keywords, each belonging to a
third category.

'Leader of the Pack' isn't the status that you graduate with: Ganger
Leader is. The experience token isn't secondary to the effect (the use
of parentheses in the card text suggests the opposite, actually), which
itself suggests that Torgo already has his experience.

Your welcome, but I don't see how you might think so. You go back to
school for a (renewed) BA, and you end up with the same degree you had
before. Old dog; no new tricks.
To repeat an earlier statement -- this isn't about "my" point, "your"
point, "that guy there"'s point.
And, again, I challenge you to come up with a more convincing argument
why LotP can't be played on Torgo. Put some energy to work for FASA.
