Where does being correct about the above (assuming you are) get you? Nowhere. If it did you would have never needed this thread to begin with and 2000 posts in it still is getting you nowhere. Let it go man, dedicate all this energy into another approach before it starts appearing anymore uselessly OCD than it already does.

If you want techniques, memorize a thousand of them and get real good at using them. Then later have the ability to know which of those thousands is the right one for the right track at the right time. Mark my words you'll never find it via formula route.
