What's the phrase... "learn like you're going to live forever, love
like you'll die tomorrow, and dance like nobody's watching"?
Anyway, I understand your point, but as an engineer I know you can
understand the basic idea: testing shows that the so-called "shortcut"
is actually not as good as the more typical method, and that suggests
that the guy who designed the shortcut didn't actually test his
shortcut to see if it was actually faster.
