Player: "Criminie! That'll take me down. <sigh, tossing a blue chip> I'll
negate 15 of the wind."
Marshal: "Okay you take 6 wind then. You would have been better off just
spending the blue to negate all the wounds."

We could probably debate for the next year over "what they meant", but I
don't see any reason that wind would work differently than wounds...
