In the absence of your tone of voice and body language I am assuming irony here.
Your observation is not necessarily "discovery" but rather "learning," I would say.
We then get to the number 10,000 - the number of experiences we need before we reach serious expert status.
Or, at 1 espresso a day and a responsible parent (not exposing their child and its brain to caffeine before brain development has finalized), a person needs to be between 48 and 51 before we should consider that person a reliable source in the judgment of caffè.
So, I get it, we need to ask the OP for his age, the age at which he started drinking caffè and the average daily intake. Below 10,000 we should forgive him - above nominated to the Foundation for the Advancement of Wearing Wooden Coats? Or what would you suggest?

Well then I nominate myself as useless. In multiple dimensions. I should stop posting at all.

Wait, I really do not care.

Therefore I can post anything.

PPPPtttH.

LOL

H-B could definitely use some humor. And as OP, I declared no "discoveries"

Let's try to keep the discussion about the real world here, shall we?

One espresso a day indeed! ; >

And my folks let me sip on coffee long before brain development was over, as well as letting me have a glass of Drambuie to ease my teething pains.

Are you sure? If you were smarter, you'd have avoided becoming a Home-Barista
