OK Bowlhiker - try Leonard Cohen's "Anthem" - offered in support of Harald and PMTS "there is a crack, a crack, in everything - that's how the light gets in" - but read the words, listen to the song.
To take on another metaphor, I do feel that I may have drunk some PMTS KoolAid. if I had drunk the whole lot, then I really wouldn't know.
Harald said in a post recently that "PMTS is tough". I prefer to use the word robust.
PMTS, when it finds you, is at its most basic - clear and simple - at least compared to any TTS. I now "know" what I have to, want to, do.
On a practical level I have now engaged , rebuilding step by step. Any efforts, TTS based, in the past, have not really done very much.
On an intellectual level, in trying to understand the foundations of the PMTS system, there is not really anything I have learned so far that I find I disagree with. I have been putting countless hours into this as I have always loved the sport of skiing. Where I have uncertainty I try and gain more information. The problem is, as I'm sure most others will have experienced, I find information sources that are confusing, and with my limited knowledge, have elements that seem just plain wrong. So I can't really trust them. I do thank PMTS for the insights I now have, which enable me to be able to analyse, and make progress at all levels.
It's great now watching the FIS racing - if only I could get it all.
PMTS also seems like a great community - it is robust - I like that.
