As I said, it's obviously gone down a waaay different rabbit hole in the years since!

And, "you could do a lot worse than" is, with respect, rather strange logic isn't it? Don't we want people to achieve the best that's possible for them?

That's just like saying: "When tuning, run an AFR of 12.5:1 at full load - you could do a lot worse than that, you know." Well, yes you could - but it's also very likely you could do better.
