We *know* that RSI definitely has a luck factor implanted somewhere in
their program; we just don't know where.  Some characters are definitely
luckier than others, and this is most likely due to luck factor.  It
would be nice if RSI would tell you your character's luck factor along
with his favorite weapon/strategy/etc, but for some reason they chose
Not to.

Unless RSI has been repeatedly (and consistently) lying to managers, I'd
say that the existence of a luck factor is an established fact.  Of course,
even if you don't "believe" in the luck factor, you understand the
basic effect: which is to "shove horseshoes up the ass" of some charactes
(mostly mine, it seems) and to help other characters (mostly my
enemies, I'd say)
