People enjoy crack-cocaine as well.

"Dr Kitten" can believe and opine all he wants.

Unfortunately, for him, there are medical studies showing otherwise.

Yeah. It's a pity that you've not been able to find any that TBK hasn't been able to shred completely.

But DVDs on traffic direction are inefficient and expensive in terms of both time and money, --- which makes them worse than something ineffecient and free.

Expensive? DVDs don't usually cost more than about £10. Someone waving their arms around randomly is unlikely to stretch or exercise all their muscles, so having a DVD will help them exercise at least a little better than they would otherwise. Also, I think the sort of person that would work out from a DVD is unlikely to be the sort of person who is willing to stand in a park waving their arms around and looking like a complete muppet, while they would have no problem doing so under direction in the comfort of their own home. I think we all agree that DVDs are far from ideal, but to claim that they are worse than nothing is going a little too far.

I did the Yang form in the middle of the street. I was able to redirect traffic with only 4 ounces of force.
