Thanks for the vote of confidence, Hu.
You and I are in agreement, except on one point: you say it doesn't really matter why many things work and to a point, I agree. If you're mid-match and you can dredge up some obscure technique that is going to save your cookies from burning, it really doesn't matter. I think we've all done that at one time or another.
But, that doesn't mean that it isn't interesting to discuss and learn, if possible, why some techniques actually produce the results they do. That's the part Freddy doesn't like. He says his technique works (which I have no doubt it does) but then wants you to make the leap that it works for highly questionable reasons. And that's were we come to loggerheads.
Some guys find the science interesting, though they may not completely understand it, or be remotely thinking about it during a game. And I am one of those guys. That's all.
