Do you think this community undercomplicates or overcomplicates ctb methods

Just a thing i wondered. Generally too careful or too simplified?

It's difficult to know the answer without knowing statistics- whether people are more likely to be successful in an attempt if they research/ prepare more or less.

Still- some methods are more likely to fail- it would seem to me- if protocols aren't followed. So- I'd say the site itself approaches each method with a reasonable amount of detail. How much we choose to go over the details is more an individual thing.

Yeah on one side humans are super fragile but on the other hand sometimes capable of surviving the impossible

Over complicates it when you look into it too long, under complicates it when you get a cursory look. Just never enough.

I think there's just an element of unknown to most methods.

If the only variable to consider when jumping is how high, why do we know of people who have died jumping from the 6th floor and survived jumping from the 12th? Is it too complex to start talking about how to jump? Is it too simple to pick a height that should work?

Gunshot to the head. Virtually always works right? But when it doesn't, the results are often absolutely catastrophic! And you can find examples from all the different shooting spots with various guns to show it isn't foolproof. So how much detail is too much when pretty much anything you try will probably work, but in the unlikely event it doesn't the downside is off the charts?

We have probably a million words written on this site about SN by now. But would most people who just buy it and take it without any more info die? Probably. It's less certain though. They're more likely to vomit. Panic when they don't understand what is happening. Is there any value to reading 1 million words about it to know everything? What about just fasting and taking some antiemetics to reduce the chances and/or severity of vomiting? But how long to fast? What kind of AEs? Are there exceptions for liquids or small meals? The info can build up! And maybe it becomes too much info that people abandon a good method because they can't make it perfect?

I dunno. It's a forum. You're going to end up with more info than you need if you keep looking. Some posts will be overly simple. I don't think there's a universal answer.

Neither. Respect is given to the opponent. Nothing is easy.
