Not to totally hijack this thread, but I've provided a link to my favorite Bill Boomer interview (maybe because he is confirming some of my long held beliefs regarding the importance of training the nervous system) My favorite part is when he discusses how he divides swimmers into either cats or dogs and how you can ruin a cat (i.e. sprinter) by training it like a dog (i.e. endurance athlete).

Great interview for sure and no way did it hijack the thread Rich. Any chance to be conceptually challenged by Bill Boomer is a growth opportunity. It should also provide another avenue for the OP to consider in his search for the Origins of TI.
Here's another article on Boomer's history with Stanford:
