Yes, absolute power, no doubt. I don't know what a Badass is
sorry I missed the joke.

I'm not understanding you here. The 175s are at the bottom,
in fact they are at the very bottom. So they are sensitive
to the top power. Sure, if you are at the end of the whip
you are in the most sensitive position, you are on the tail
end as far from power as you can be and therefore the effect
of the cause is greatest. This chapter opens with, "You will
want cause and effect." But I can't get the last sentence?

In GR or in life?

Again, in GR or in life? Not sure it holds water in either,
but again I have no idea why you pose this question.
