You know how engineers test concrete in the field using a slump test? They don’t run fancy numbers. They put it in a bucket and plop the concrete out on the ground… rule of thumb … If something is not right, then they go back to the specs and see what what the “numbers” are …

Because 1.25% might be an amazing deal on some cars and 0.75% might be a terrible deal on others.
I believe in @vhooloo 1% rule, but I’m a pre-TTL 1% ruler.
