Finding the optimal way of doing something involves getting it wrong before you get it right. We all know this. What I was talking about was not greenhorn entry-level practice, but the practice of an expert who has already figured that much out. Obviously, you have to learn the right way to do something before you can do it the right way.
Congratulations that was the point.

If that’s the point, then I had it right the first time, and only seemed to lose you when I followed the idea to its obvious next leg. After you figure out how to do it right, then the rest of that initial comment comes into play.
You not following along well enough until it’s been reiterated and fed to you as directly and simply as possible is not the dunk you seem to think it is.

Oh look you lost the point again.

You said that practicing something the same way over and over is wrong, fullstop. I said that’s not always true because after a certain point, that is the exact kind of practice that keeps the skill ready. I miss, lose, and never find many points, but I see this one clear as day. Your absolute statement was not absolutely true, and it’s really just not that big of a deal.
While I don’t appreciate that you misconstrued what I said earlier, wilfully or otherwise, I also don’t think that’s a rightful excuse for me to get as rude with you as I chose to. So, take it or leave it, I offer my apologies for that.
