You will never know until you try. I honestly think trying something because you don't think you will like it or even if you kinda hate it can be a very good life experience. Either you learn something new and maybe like it or you better understand why something is not for you. In either case you will be more informed and a more open minded and rounded individual.

I don't bother with the edge. I will admit that the cut I like is one of the easyist ones to do your self.

You do bring up some valid points but how will we know if it's the idea or the culture that works if we don't try it? It's not like what we are doing now is working. Honestly I don't care about options (including my own) I care about what works and we cant find out what works without trying new ways of doing things and looking at the data from others that have already tried them.
