That would be a stupid thing to do.



I was not going to comment further but will say that IMO it is a good idea. It is new to me and a scope test I will remember. I would not have thought of it but as soon as articulated, it is obviously true that when the only thing left is the center then you are centered. That is over simplifying what MD posted but is the direction of the exercise: quick, simple and useful.
