So You’re an Elite Performer? Maybe, And Maybe Not.

[Andy Black]

This is very well articulated and I think you should have posted this thread instead of me. And here you are saying I write well yet you drop a gold post like it's nothing.

You started with a story @MTF and it was very compelling.

@Fox included a story too.

You both can write but I think Rob's thinking is a bit clearer and he arrived at a neater conclusion.

I notice Rob started with "I think" and also mentioned "I think" later. That didn't make what he wrote weaker to me, but stronger. I kept reading Rob's thinking without feeling the scientist/mathematician in me rebel at absolute statements.

Just saying I still suspect the authoritative stance on writing *may* have an adverse affect on how we think.
