12 to 10 = Advantage = unequal opportunity.
You could do this with any category though, so the argument is a fallacy.

For instance, let us take sci-fi. You could have a sci-fi romance, a sci-fi comedy, a sci-fi classic, and so on, but you can't have a non-sci-fi sci-fi book. So the advantage will always be against the "non" regardless of category in this type of argument.
