Agree completely. The simple version is underrated. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me.

Big fan of this approach. I noticed the same thing in Nairobi. I appreciate when people separate evidence from speculation.

Glad you shared it; small wins count. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me.
