Actual Christopher quote: I have to protect MY PRECIOUS... intellectual property.
Prolific pretty much just refers to quantity. It's part of the word definition, I think.
Guinness has never cared about quality. It's always been the biggest, or longest, or fastest, etc. And in general, world records are always, as far as I know, about measurable quantities, while prize awards may be about the subjective quality (decided by biased judges).
I don't see a contradiction here. It just shows that the US government cares more about the poor Chinese people than the American citizens. After all, the Chinese gave them fireworks, and those are very patriotic, especially during 4th of July. What have the Americans given to the US?
It confused me too, because who's saying what can be mixed up. It went like this:
Affiliate: instead of the 200 limit, how about you grant me a 2000 limit.
Parent: NO LIMIT
Affiliate: awesome
It's the parent company who took what the Affiliate asked and went a step further, removing the limitations on Affiliate. So Affiliate didn't get screwed, they got an even better deal than what they asked. It's Affiliate who yelled "awesome", because Parent actually removed a restriction from them.
