That was how I read you, Nick. :-)
Some years ago when I was helping my granddaughter do her homework, she asked
me how to do something. I didn't actually know. But I looked at it, worked
out how I would achieve what she wanted, and showed her. She completed her
homework. The next day, I looked up how to do whatever it was. There was a
MUCH better way of doing it - both quicker and easier than the (admittedly
successful) bodge I had showed her. So I said to her: "Look , there is this
much better way of doing it." She refused to change. "No, this is how I do
it."
And you have been doing it your way for years!!
