Interesting dilemma: Seeing someone making a statement about a particular thing in knitting being perfect, and it's an area in which I have done a TONNE of research and I know it's absolutely not. But I bet the person saying this would not be happy to receive my input. 1/...

Most of my objection to the statement, for context, is that the technique is absolutely perfect is a very specific set of circumstances, but less than perfect in many other situations. 2/...

I love this about knitting: that there are so many ways to do things! A knitter has choices! Valid choices! So many good ways to do things! And I know I'm guilty of making absolute statements sometimes. But this particular blanket statement... well, it's too blanket. 3/...

But I would absolutely look like - heck, be - a jerk if a weighed in! I know that! I will stay quiet. But tbh it frustrates me a little to see a class that promotes this as a perfect solution. I feel for the knitters who aren't going to be well-served by that. /end

In summary: All of these techniques, all of these variations evolved because there isn't a single RIGHT solution for anything, there isn't one solution that covers all situations. There are lots of right ways to do things. It's about finding the one that's right for you!
