Even after carefully explaining the efficiency and effectiveness of an ideal stroke rate, within 3 minutes swimmer will invariably lose the ability to count strokes and think about any related concept. See similar anomaly under Law of Acceleration.
Good joke, Fortress. Good response too. People tend to get testy when they're dissed. Better to make light of it if possible. Sometimes it's not, of course. I bet your shoulders are hurting just reading about those 5 x 500s of "recovery." And you didn't even mention them ... decent of you. :rofl: (There, I even used an emoticon.)
The above joke explains why one should seek the open water. No counting.
