Quote from: TwoCatSam on November 26, 2013, 10:04:49 PMIt's not the fact that nobody would listen as most people of the forum see a "new" idea or system play and either consciously or subconsciously validate it on the fly.
Now that Johnny has destroyed his credability (Obama) no one believes him. What if a Johnny truly had the "Holy Grail" and no one listened?
If it turns out to actually be a new idea, it will be looked at and validated against other, similar ideas and processed accordingly.
If it actually shows any kind of promise, meaning it's better than what it's being validated against, most people will run with it and really see if it works.
The problem is, a lot of this detailing gets done by individual members and once it has failed their own reasonablness testing, it is discarded and no mention is generally made of it.
This tends to make people think that nobody is even looking at their accomplishments but as we all know, that is not true.
If a person were to actually post up something reasonably close to the HG, it would be followed and tested into painful detail. However, as most of the "new" stuff is merely rehashed efforts to find a trigger and a way to extend losses, it falls off into the sunset until the next time.
Also, once a person finds a play that really works for them, they are not in any big hurry to rush off to the next big thing, no matter how much publicity it gets. If you're making money with your play, you won't be in any hurry to change to something else! That just makes sense.
The bottom line? If the HG shows up on the doorstep, it won't go unnoticed for long.
