GaryW, it's the difference between practicality and performance. Some people are completely satisfied with what the engineers turn out for the masses. Those engineers are designing to a certain goal, which is seldom the highest level of performance from a product. Most people accept that the engineers did their job well, and accept that the status quo is satisfactory. Others are always asking .........."is this the best it can do?", and experiment to determine that. Neither one is wrong, and neither one is the only one that is right. It's just a difference in goals.
To use the well worn analogy of car engines again, most are satisfied with factory level performance. Some are always trying to squeeze more performance out of an engine. That is not wrong just because most don't understand why they do it. I'm not saying that you or Miller think "we" are wrong, but just like the people in Miller's past who acted somehow superior because they hotrodded a smallbore, so are there those who want to belittle others that dare to defy the olde, engraved in stone, gun "rules" that most of the world accepts as gospel. It's like we are committing heresy when we don't.
Heading out to help cook early breakfast for the Easter Sunrise service crowd.
Have a blessed day, SRH
