You make it sound like it's my fault that I'm not "getting" your metaphors and stories. But that's really the point, isn't it? Words are always like this, hence their usefulness for obfuscation.

There are indeed a great many people who practice zhan zhuang, and many who practice for health, and couldn't possibly provide evidence for that, as I couldn't - except for my astonishing health, vigour and good looks. But they aren't on the internet undermining me, as I explain how useful zz is, and how to get the bests results.

In all seriousness, all that really irritates me about you is that by pretending to be in some way to be speaking from a superior position or knowledge, you're hindering me in getting across actual, simple, factual and useful information. When you "discover" that, then that will be great.
