As I said, I'm allergic to illogical bull****.

While there are times where road force balancing is required, there are
certainly times when it's not required - and hence - a waste of duplicative
effort.

It's sort of like combing your hair a hundred times a day even though your
hair doesn't need combing, or sippering up your zipper when it's already
zippered up, or climbing stairs twice when you already climbed them, or
washing a windshield when it's already clean, or screwing a screw in over
and over again even though it'[s already screwed in, or shining your shoes
again even though they're already shiny, or eating a nice meal, then puking
it out, and then eating it again, and again, and again, or like carrying
around four umbrellas even though one would suffice, etc.

The point is simple:
o You either need it
o Or you don't.

If you don't need it then why insist on it?
o Or, put another way...how do you know you need it?

The real answer is that you just _think_ you need it.
o It's a classic FUD ploy that advertisers live and breathe

The gullible sheep fall for every marketing trick in the book.

I'm not saying RFB isn't a good thing when it's needed.
o I'm simply asking you how you know that you need it?

LOGIC QUESTION:
If you're not feeling any perceptible vibration, what do you think that
expensive Hunter RFB machine is going to gain you?
