Spider flew to Kentucky in the not so distance past.
A player can use CTE successfully and not be able to spit out every detail.
I finished 25th in the US OPEN not know every visual detail. I ran a 105 on a tight Diamond not knowing every detail. I double dipped Billy Thorpe in a GSBT Bank tournament not knowing every detail.
Bottom line: I did not have to know everything about CTE to make it work. I played with CTE and worked to learn about CTE at the same time. I did not have to put CTE on hold until I had every last piece of the puzzle. My play as I went forward was important and the same can be said for anyone that uses CTE. You, Mr. White, are a nothing burger when it comes to getting after it, unless it involves your wordsmithing and then you can spit it out like alphabet cereal. You should be on a dang cereal box.

Let's say I give a placebo to a person with migraine headaches. If they are getting fewer headaches the worst thing I could do is tell them they are only taking a sugar pill. That knowledge might ruin the benefit. You, Stan, may know how the system works and will explain it in your book, but for guys like Cookie to go around telling other people that we don't understand anything is kind of funny. They don't know any more than I do. They only know they play better with CTE, and that's fine with me.
You know what my beef with CTE is and I don't need to keep repeating it. I only brought it up because Spider said Shishkebab can achieve multiple shot angles with the same bridge length and same pivot, which I find dubious. Maybe Shishkebab can do what Pro 1 does on a more basic level, but certainly not with the same bridge and pivot. You've said that the book will reveal the mystery and that sounds good to me. As far as I'm concerned it is a dead issue until the book comes out.
Actually, I have to say one thing. Spider said that if I set up a cut shot with Shiskebab and then I set up the same shot with the ob moved over a couple of inches that the shot can be made with the exact same bridge and pivot. Is this correct? He said he could explain it but not to me because I'm too dumb or something like that. This sounds like the mystery you are going to explain.
