Height stopped being an advantage on the block

Lift and coast is a setup choice pretending to be a driver instruction

The transfer market learns slower than the analysts think

A good start is worth less than a bad one costs

Turnovers in your own half are not all equal

Dot balls cost more than boundaries earn

A new ball and an old ball are not the same sport

Training zones are a bookkeeping tool, not a biology

Usage rate hides who actually breaks a defence

A front wing flap is a cheap fix for an expensive problem

Movement screens predict almost nothing and cost plenty

The hundred metres is decided by who slows down least

Zonal marking gets blamed because it is legible

The hard length beats the yorker more often than anyone admits

Chasing spin numbers has made half of practice useless

Set position height is personal and coaches keep standardising it

Blocks are the worst way to judge a rim protector

There is no such thing as a one-stop tyre, only a one-stop driver

The watch is not measuring what the coach thinks it is

Readiness scores tell athletes what they already knew

The overlap works because nobody takes it

Losing two early costs less than the caution it produces

The five-shot rally is where matches are actually lost

A flying thirty tells you more than any timed trial
