You can’t legitimately dismiss something until you know virtually everything about it! In this context I am referring specifically to an exercise, a machine, a methodology, or assumed responses to any of these. Typically we dismiss something because our ego demands it when we don’t understand, are intimidated, or because we are blindly following the beliefs, mantras, misconceptions and/or sound bites spouted by others whom we chosen as our “team”. The vast majority of self-proclaimed exercise experts don’t know enough about their area of supposed expertise to adequately support or dismiss anything!
