The producers of LOST are geeks. This is just another example that I
wouldn't read much into. Unless they've changed the rules since my
days of playing RISK, the "Australia Crawl" IS a winning strategy, or
at the very least, a strategy that will keep you in the game long
after most of the rest of the players have been knocked out...
