While I have several questions regarding this "system" you speak of, this is not the thread for it so I won't derail it any further by providing a lengthy rebuttal. Sufficed to say, I strongly disagree with what you have said, based on my personal experience and what others have shared with me over the years.

If you wish to continue discussing the matter we can start a separate thread in the General Discussion forum or via PM.
