Instead of comparing the Vegas 1/2 NL games filled with several thinking players to the LA 5/10+ NL games which you think have 0-1 thinking players...maybe you should just look at your cash game results for the last 5 years versus the cash game results of the "live poker imams." Maybe there is proof in the pudding? Maybe the "live poker imams" who throw balance out the window know something you don't when their yearly cash game results are often 5x-10x yours year in and year out?

how is that not an argument against your logic? he is saying: your logic leads to the conclusion that strategy A is a good/the best one; strategy A is shown to not meet some measure of success ->therefore the logic that lead you to conclude strategy A was the best must be flawed. obviously there are multiple causation problems here, but i think that is certainly
an argument against your logic. he also does go on to provide a comparison group that believe A is wrong and meets some measure of success, which provides additional support to his stance. the argument is abrasively made and you might not agree with it, but its worth considering imo.
