I don't think anyone has the slightest idea what you mean by doing a lot to make a saddle work
Yeah, sometimes I have a hard time finding words. Thanks for mentioning how to fix the sentence. I mean exactly that I've done a lot of micro-adjustments before buying a replacement, especially since replacements aren't guaranteed to be an improvement.
I really hate over-generalizations, and I REALLY hate statistical arguments not based on data. I'm convinced part of the reason our society here in the US is so fouled up is that we have too many people who make bogus statistical assertions, especially when it's so unnecessary.
I'd have absolutely no problem with: 'Many saddle issues can be resolved by incremental adjustments to angle and fore-aft positioning. Millimeters matter.'
