That's a novel idea, but what can you use that'll go under there?

BTW, this is off-topic, I'm sorry, but that's a really cool profile pic you've got there.
I'm pretty sure that's exactly what he was referring to.

This discussion is basically endless, no matter where you go. There's always a bunch of people who heard from someone else who was told by some other guy that this way or that way was better, and very few of them have any background or math/science to back any of it up.

While it's refreshing to see that someone else understands the difference between "bigger" and "too big", it's also a burden to see, yet again, the term "back pressure" come into play.
