NO, NO, NO Scarlett. You don't understand where they're coming from with all of this. Their way of playing the game resembles NOTHING in the way you, Stan, I, and all PRO players play the game.
To them, CTE is total TRASH/GARBAGE because it can't be explained the way THEY want it explained. And if it can't be explained by "dumb asses" who don't speak their language, then the creators and users of the system don't have a leg to stand on and the SYSTEM is completely worthless.
They can go on all day long...excuse me...they can go on for
22 YEARS from all directions to "prove" it's worthlessness if the users can't come up with THEIR answers.
You see for every shot they have on the table all forces of physics and nature are calculated into each and all shots along with whatever they do to aim
They might use contact points, fractions, GB, or just "see the shot" from hitting a million balls and the subconscious/unconscious mind that pulls all of these shots up automatically to give them a .717 Fargo rating.
But .717 isn't good enough. To get .999 they use (hold on, are you ready for this)
PHYSICS AND ALL FORCES OF NATURE!!! JUST LIKE ALL PRO PLAYERS!!! LMAO.
They add or subtract CIT, SIT, SPEED (to the next highest mph), collision friction from humidity or lack thereof, Coriolis force...and the list goes on and on FOR ALL SHOTS WHILE PLAYING.
But most importantly they want to bring all of this into the fray to debate why a particular aiming system can't possibly work because these factors prohibit it from working and makes it INVALID.
Scarlett, you seem like a really decent person so I am now going to point you in the right direction for improving your game. Without this, you'll never reach your potential nor be able to keep up to speed for beating any one of the scientists either on the table or in a pool forum discussion.
THIS IS THE SECRET TO PLAYING POOL!! WITHOUT IT YOU'LL ALWAYS BE LACKING AND NEVER MAKE IT PAST AN APA 4!

Watch how slick they are today to pull all of this out of the hat to continue their denigration of CTE and Stan. It never stops.
You now have the secret. Best of luck!
