If you race on a triple you will be dropped. In a race in your 39x23 you may be more tired then some one who spins a 32x27 to the top of the mountain but you will be there first and thats what wins the race.
fwiw thats the way I look at the double/triple argument
But we're not talking racing here, at least I'm not. Racing is a total different beast, like you're saying.
