Yep. But this is probably the only matter I've ever agreed with Heine on!

EDIT: reading the follow-up article, if Jan is claiming breaking the "wider/lower pressure is better" news, then I must concede I agree him there, too. I haven't read BQ in years; maybe I've grown more than I thought, and align with Heine more now, too. Oooh, that's scary!
