No.
It is 50 years of being a student of the game and spending time, back when I was in high school, at the San Francisco public library reading back issues of the "NYTimes" and "Sports Illustrated" to find articles on pool.
It is from doing papers in college on Ned Polsky's sociological study, "Hustlers, Beats, Others." It is having read Bob Byrne's "McGoorty, The Story of a Billiard Bum," Fat's "The Bank Shot and Other Great Robberies," John Grissims's "Billiards Hustlers & Heroes, Legends & Lies & the Search for Higher Truth on the Green Felt," R.A Dyer's "Hustlers Days, and, not to forget, Stein and Rubino's "The Billiard Encyclopedia, An Illustrated History of the Sport."
It is having been a subscriber to "Billiards Digest," "Inside Pool" and the old "The National Billiard News." It is having an extensive pool library, with almost everything published on pool, sitting right behind me as I type this. And it is 50 years of hanging around pool halls and playing in tournaments all over the country, playing and talking with players, going back to the days of the legendary Palace and Cochran's in SF where I grew up.
Lastly, I have often said records were meant to be broken. You lock up a player of JS caliber in a room with ideal conditions and let him wail away for months and he's going to do it, as would several other modern day players.
I sleep like a baby ;-)
