People who complain about setting up triples vs doubles don’t seem to understand this important point. They make it a lot harder than it needs to be.
Please explain this:
If the two are in fact no different to set up then why do so many people have a harder time with one than the other?
These complaints and experiences come up a lot in every thread like this. How do you explain that? Are they all lying?
If a bunch of people can easily do one thing but struggle with the other, then there MUST be a difference.
It is up to you whether you want to understand what that difference is. If you want to understand, I’ll try to help. If not, I’m not gonna waste my time.
