I personally found your original questions, and subsequent reply very useful! Sincere and insightful questions (as yours are) lead to clarifications, evolution of thought and healthy debate/discussion. It is very encouraging to see both the OP and yourself discussing the topic in an informed and healthy manner. I wish we could say the same about other discussion threads!
I avidly follow the Chrome on Rust Videos, and find them incredibly entertaining and informative. However, as a newish HC DH, I struggled with understanding this one (I have simply maxed out on toughness, and hoped for the best!). Your question and comments helped clarify a few things for me, so please do continue to contribute to the discussions!
