Imagine vanilla RTW as a strawberry. You can make it better by adding sugar and stuff. EB is the sugared, chocolate-vanilla-sauced, peach-icecream cultivated version of the strawberry , but you still cannot make a banana out of it.

EB works with the tools V-RTW to give us and make the best they can out of it. I'm sure the know pretty well about phalanxes.
