Take a chill pill, haschu! It's just an internet discussion board. Pity you don't find my arguments persuasive. I admit they are tinged with precision and clarity not often found here.

I agree with the...

As I've said before, 'dead spots' is one of those phrases you hear a lot but which doesn't seem to mean much.

'Wide' and 'narrow' are indeed imprecise, although 'widest consistent with spearing parallel and forwards' isn't, and I know I prefer to go narrower than that.

A straight recovery trajectory sounds...

Narrow tracks are better

Or so I have finally concluded. By narrow, I mean parallel but without any conscious attempt to ensure the recovering arm enters the water at a point wider than would otherwise be the case, while...

If only citing a dictionary definitions helped us understand the world.

Astrology - basically nonsense but believed by many. Best avoided in serious discussion.

Question still avoided. The kettle, not car engines, please.

It seems I was right. 'Synergy' is just a fancy word for things interacting. Everything interacts, however. It isn't news and it adds...

There are videos posted here of people who claim to have discovered TI many years ago, yet appear to be stuck in a deep technical rut. Is your advice just keep looking for the increments?

In other words, 'synergy' is another name for things interacting. I don't think anyone disputes that the world is made of parts which affect each other.

My kettle question remains unanswered.

What leaps out is that your right arm recovers hand-first rather than elbow-first.

Karlyn Pipes-Neilsen's deltoids are suspiciously large. Is that necessary if propulsion comes from the lats?

I mean reaching forward so that the shoulder and not just the arm moves forwards relative to the torso. Underwater shots of Grant Hackett are a good illustration.

I have a theory about why people,...

Terry's point is well taken that big leaps forward are more typical of earlier learning stages. I should have made that clear, as I had in mind the period before which one feels one has the basics in...

Bricks don't interact with each other, so I think that's a poor example. I note no one has given an example of a 'linear' system.

And the kettle? I suspect from the above that everything is more than the sum of its parts, in which case the phrase has no significance.

A kettle without water is useless. A kettle with water allows you to make any number of hot drinks. Is that synergy?

I don't get the appeal of bilateral breathing. The elite don't do it save for a few strokes during races when checking what the opposition are doing.
