Expecting 100% of 'flawed' people to be able to permenantly alter the fundamentals of their personality takes a big stretch of the imagination
I would put myself in a very similar bracket to Jeff - & Peter probably would too.
The only difference - I don't think Jeff even had an edge - or understood his edge. I know this for a fact, because there were aspects of pre-race that he denied were useful - because he couldn't see it in his own data.
Now, I have a lot of respect for that. I far prefer someone to have principals that they can stick by (& Shaun you're one of em
) - than bending to wind & accepting/believing whatever TPTB say (without fully understanding it themselves).
For example, I only accepted race type was an important variable - when I saw it in my own data/analysis. Until that day, I would've been against race type - & I would cite my analysis (during that period of time -
viewtopic.php?p=167463#p167463) - which someone who did understand how race type was an edge, had a chance to correct (i.e. "you need to look at it this way..") - that said; there's no way I'd post something like that publicly!
That is why Jeff failed imho.
Now I'm assuming the silver spoon wasn't forced down Jeff's throat. But if it was, he's the
utter minority. Most people with a
simple edge forced down their throats won't refute it!
P.S. Jeff if you're reading this, drop me a PM & I'll walk you through it - just so you can prove em wrong. It's all about edge, psychology 2nd. Missin' yah
