And let me anticipate the answer: Sure, we *all* take shortcut paths (and don't even think twice about it). HOWEVER: Md'ing , on the other hand, is different, right ? It would be akin to "setting up camp" or "practicing hand grenades" or "waltzing around in the nude", etc... ?
If we accept the premise that md'ing = "intrinsically evil" (like hand grenades, public nudity, etc...), then yes: There's a difference. Then , if so (If I have anticipated the objection correctly), then we have mental perception differences of the evil-level of md'ing.
I happen to consider md'ing to be innocuous, harmless, healthy, nutritious, etc.... If we start with the assumption that md'ing is evil, then ...... sure .... my "shortcut" analogy/pix don't hold up.
Not sure why this preconception that md'ing is dis-liked by all, inherently evil, harmful, damaging, etc... Why is that ? In fact, it's been my experience that md'ing is perceived opposite of that. Total strangers come up and ask "what's the best thing you've ever found?" and "How deep does it go?". Far from being reviled and hated.
