No argument there. I was making the point that I don't try to do the "little things" you mention because I'm trying to get to the NFL or NBA, but because I think they're the right things to do.

I don't have a problem with the rules. They are what they are. The fact that there are some who choose not to abide by them is up to them, not me (and you know there are those who don't) and doesn't affect me or my preparation.

But for something that I (and many others) do on the side for whatever reason, it's not really worth getting all verklempt over, and I've already spent too much time on the topic as it is.
