I’m sorry trying to write w cell phone.

Bottom m line

Of course this would work. But you would need to reduce costs and method.

While I have no doubt that different variations on the theme might be better or worse — what I’ve looked for is the 5% that gives me 95% of the effects — and that is good enough for my purposes. I’m not a perfectionist or purist — because I’m simply interested in that low-hanging fruit (5%) that provides with most of the benefits — so that my cost to benefit ratio is a slam-dunk why not?

As primarily a bodybuilder most of my 70+ years of life, while my peers were asking how can I give 110%, or other such nonsense — which of course makes many vulnerable to premature heart and other failures of the human body, I asked the much more valuable question of what 5% of any doing, gives one 95% of the results — and move on to identify the next 5%, because moving from 95% to 96% will usually require twice the expenditure of effort for a barely negligible increased benefit.

And there is only so much time in the day and one’s life that one has to be as extremely efficient at everything, to get the best part (95%) of it done — and not simply become more and more obsessive/compulsive about these things. Other people are built for that — but I’m kind of generalist who doesn’t want to get too hung up on the exact details.

So while I’m aware of the literature that says that one needs 100% or something is worthless, or one has to achieve precise zero —I prefer to operate in the real world of finding out what is mostly true and mostly false — for my purposes — which is what gets one to 100, with no signs of aging — and not like the many stars who die prematurely thinking they are on the “fast track” — ie. the Arnolds, Bruce Lee, World’s Strongest Man, Superstars, etc. — and wonder what went wrong. Why does what seemed to work when they were younger, not work anymore? Maybe it never did — while one missed entirely, what did.

A lot of modern science is conducted in that way — of already knowing what they want to “prove” and only seeing that, and totally discarding what may be of greater significance that they could not even imagine could possibly be happening.
