So in other words, you shouldn't be insulting other people when they express a personal opinion that does not agree with yours. You shouldn't be building a chain of reasoning based on an axiom that many people don't support, and calling it "data".
That is what is pissing people off, Ion. When you state that this is your experience, fine. When you state a misunderstanding between calculus and calculations, great. (Misunderstanding understood, and corrected.) But when you state how great you are, because of late-blooming V02Max, and then berate people who have a different perception, that is hardly critical thinking.

Similarly, a swimmer cannot anchor much -and later on pull the body over that anchor- without catching something solid.
The water doesn't give the swimmer a hard enough, stable grip.
I bet this can bring me replies that are poetic 'explanations', pseudo-science, therefore 'technique'.
See, in my experience, I can get a good anchor on the water. I find "VO2Max is the key" to be pseudo-science. Should I start insulting you, telling you how simple-minded you are? :D (Have you done any crew? Once the boat is up to speed, the oars do more "anchoring" than moving water backwards.)
